    straw-man

    Raj, I could say to you: "I get it. You think I'm being overly alarming."

    I could also say to you, accuratetly I'd wager, that you've never It Can't Happen Here, given the irony of that last statement.

    But I'm not saying conservatives are scary. I don't find George Will, Andrew Sullivan, Bruce Fein, Bob Barr, or any other number of conservatives scary.

    I find movement conservatism disturbing, and alarming, and I think people are underestimating it.

    Another paranoid to add to the list: Robert Altemeyer, author of The Authoriatarians

    You should e-mail Altemeyer, too, and let him know you "get it."
