In my opposition research, I've found several good sources that I
suggest that anyone else interested in formulating responses to these
people check out: the magazine 'Earth Island Journal', which is full of
such scare mongering, as well as a Sierra Club propaganda piece called
"Made, Not Born" which is an anthology of many propagandists including
some of our buddies from the Turning Point Project.
Their idea of a 'reasoned response' is much like Joe Dees' idea, though
generally less vituperant.
