Dane, the only comfort I take from all this is that the Buchananites/Perotistas and similar fringe types rarely muster more than a few percentage points in votes when elections roll around.

However, the internet has given them a means to spew their venom to a much wider audience, as well as to infect forums such as this.

It's the "echo chamber" effect. When they get together, they think they're a majority.

That is true, but like the mainstream media spreading the democrat liberal venom for the last 40 years, most level headed people see their venom what it is and reject it.
