Apparently the inference Barry wishes to be drawn from his rant is that if one holds a particular opinion, and then discovers that a person with whom one wouldn't choose to associate onself turns out to have the same opinion, one should immediately resolve *never to express* that opinion lest somebody like Barry attempt to put forward a "guilt by association" charge against one. Sure, Barry, that makes a lot of sense. I hereby withdraw every opinion I've ever expressed that happened to be in tune with one of yours. I will never again say anything against George Bush or the Iraq war, for example. <belly laugh>
