I always judge a party by its extremes!
I really think that's a very good way of judging this kind of things
Extreme Americans bomb buildings (Oklahoma City). Extreme Christians murdered woman under the banner of being witches. Extreme Muslims want all western life ended. 

The fringe extreme for any group should never the the benchmark in which we measure everyone from that group.
Right, but on the other hand, we lump nonviolent KKK members in with violent KKK members. Saying that ALL who oppose abortion (for example) can be judged with those who bomb abortion clinics is obviously wrong, but if you associate with people who advocate the bombing of clinics or say it is not a bad thing to do, and support groups that do that, then you DO have some guilt by association even if you don't personally bomb clinics or approve of doing it.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
