Who says we should want to share a "big tent" with wingnuts?

[marylanddem]

Perhaps, PE Obama, we are fundamentally, temperamentally, different than the Rick Warrens of this world. Question Authority versus Obey Authority?

[Kitsune]

1. You don't share a tent with people who want to burn the tent down *nt*

[KittyWampus]

4. Grown ups, on the other hand, realize you have to do the hard work that those immature souls refuse

to do.

Like stilling ones emotions and reaching out to those who are seriously misguided.

[Kitsune]

5. Compromising with zealots doesn't work.

It's not going to make them hate me any less if we give them prime slots at our events. It's just going to give them a platform and legitimize them.

[Individualist]

2. DLC says so

They love neocons.

[Philosoraptor]

3. Screw the tent, I want a SOLID WALL between church and state

[Peregrine Took]

6. Never violate the core beliefs of your supporters. It pisses them off and they

will remember.

You can venture into the enemies tent but don't come out with the scorpion king himself.

He may bite you on the butt and your loyal old supporters won't be there to lick your wounds.

7. not until they learn how to behave themselves like civilized folks

it's a big tent, but there's still no room for name calling, assassination plots, or incentives to riot.
