Name calling, especially when blatantly untrue, is more of an indictment against the name callers than those whose names were sullied. In fact, now that I think about it, Tim Sevener was calling me a "Nazi". I was at the convention, and I shouted "4 more years", "U.S.A.", and "Reagan" along with the rest of the crowd. The reason that I shouted these slogans was not due to "Nazi" leanings on my part, far from it. I shouted them because I overwhelmingly support Reagan/Bush over Mondale/Ferraro, and because it was exciting to be at the convention. I deplore the genocide practiced by Nazi Germany. I deplore the concept of a "master race". I deplore those ideals which "Nazis" hold dear. Please Mr Sevener, don't use the methods used by tyrants of the past, the big lie, to try and achieve your goals. I resent it, and many other people resent it as well.
