wise use

[Liz Day]

 >The Wilderness Society Report  .... conceded that "Wise Use is a local 
movement driven primarily by local concerns, not national issues." However, 
it recommended a strategy....: depict it as a "far right" fanatically 
religious "pawn of powerful special interests."

Depressing, isn't it, that no position can be allowed to stand or fail on 
its own merits - that to succeed in getting support, the various groups 
(I'm referring to all groups of all political persuastions, not just 
environmentalists or the WS, because I see the propaganda other groups put 
out too) apparently have to overstate their case and use whatever 
emotion-laden rhetoric they can think of ..... And even more depressing 
that this apparently works....
