"Extremism
thrives because of cowardly collaborators"
Well, it doesn't come much trashier than what you've
written, M.r Cohen.
"Collaborators"?
Isn't that a trifle pejorative? Of course, it is, as you
meant it to be. Suggestive of WWII Nazi stuff, no less.
"Cowardly"?
Well, what is more cowardly than calling people names, as
you do, and allowing no response? Afraid of what you'd hear?
"Extremism"?
Oh, I suppose you mean a 69-year old entrepreneur who has
made about 8 billion dollars doing hard-nosed, traditional business deals, the
kind of activity on which America was built.
Sure sounds like an extremist to me.
Of course, he is against the kind of American imperial
overreach which the neo-cons have pushed the U.S. into, wars everywhere, but I
hardly think that can be called" extremism." "Sensible" is
more like it, unless you are a war-monger like Hillary.
And the "extremism" is "thriving,” no less.
