No, it's not black and white thinking. Marxism as an ideology and how this woman pushes it is very much against the intent of the Constitution. Yes, people can push for what they want but her solution, her ends goal is for gov't control - exactly what the Constitution was put in place to limit.
No one said she couldn't speak her mind - neither I nor Beck suggested otherwise so kindly take your straw elsewhere.

Well it doesn't seem as if she has many followers, why does old Luney Toons feel it's a good idea to single her out and demonize her if not to garner ratings from his easily incited followers?

So what's worse saying you're and enemy to the constitution or humanity like you are doing and left often does of the right?

Politics is dirty business full of hyperbole always has been always will be. Daisy anyone? LBJ basically said Goldwater would KILL all Americans if elected. If that's not a call to arms I don't know what is. Fortunately most people recognized it for what it was, rhetoric and hyperbole. Progress is just not having senators shoot at each other anymore like in the 1800s.

Hypothetical #2: Would the FF stick to a Principle they initiated, if it became clear it was harmful or would ultimately lead to the demise of the nation?

Because Beck is a plant. He is a leftist mole who has infiltrated the right and poisoning them from within. He is helping show those who sleep in America just how insane the right really is by being it's most insane and outspoke leader. By sacrificing himself and leading scum he frames that scum so others can see just how deep that scum runs. He is one of America's greatest heroes. You go, Glenn!

How about some specifics? Repeatedly calling her an unconstitutional Marxist without actually referring to anything specific she's said or done is pretty much what I'm talking about. Marxism IS an ideology that opposes much of the idea of what the US stands for, but other than the latest popular insult to be used against people you don't like, can Beck or anyone else tell me what exactly Marxism IS and how all the people he calls Marxist fit that description? If they can, I have yet to hear it.

It's interesting your bring up the straw man fallacy, since that's exactly what I object to about Beck's arguments. It's not just this women at all. Most people he disagrees with are apparently worse than Hitler, Stalin and Mao put together. Nobody has good motives but the wrong ideas. Nobody has SLIGHTLY wrong ideas. Everyone is trying to turn America into the Soviet Union. And he says it so often, and so loudly, that a disturbingly large percentage of people will argue, without the slightest shred of irony, that Obama and his supporters are trying to destroy America. Yes, the President of the United States, and a rather large percentage of the population, apparently hate this country and want to destroy it. No straw men here...

Followers? There are many who wish to push agendas such as hers. BHO being one who subscribes to many such marxist views. Many here as well would read her nations whining and nod right along. So your attempt to suggest her scope audience is limited just doesn't fly. We need to be vigilant
to protect liberty... not wait until It's enemies have an audience.

??? There is no witch-hunt here, just stating that we need to make sure people don't forget the past and start giving audience to such a destructive ideology(destructive to America and it's Constitution that is).

BTW, Joe was right if you haven't heard.;)
