So it's more appropriate to say you don't mind fanaticism as long as you agree with most of what they're saying, not because fanaticism is good.
Typical hypocrisy. It's like saying "Yeah, I'm all for free speech... EXCEPT those guys who disagree with me."
Guess what? The other side feels the same way. Their guy is moving the Overton window in the direction they want. RMS and Ron Paul are not pragmatic to them.
