Correct. There are about 10,000 Useful Idiots for every revolutionary communist organizer. Therefore, UIs are much more dangerous to our country.
But unlike the serious organizers, UIs can (and must) be swayed over to our side. Giving up on them is dangerous. And shoving them deeper into the arms of the communist organizers is very, very dangerous. Accusing them of being more radical than they are makes them like us less, and makes them trust the communist organizers more. There’s no benefit, and plenty of harm, to lending credence in their minds, to the organizers’ painting of conservatives and libertarians as mean and selfish.
Mnay of them are impressionable college students and recent graduates, who still have plenty of time to modify their political views. Janet Karpinski obviously doesn’t fall into the still-swayable category, but she’s undoubtedly a prominent figure to the young UIs, and making exaggerated accusations about her degree of radicalism, because of her affiliation with some of these groups, is likely to be viewed by young impressionable UIs as an attack on them too. Remember, David Horowitz was a useful idiot once. Many of them can and must be “saved”, and reasoning with them and treating them with civility and basic courtesy are very effective swaying tools.
