at what point a belief constitutes "extremist partisanship"?

I believe that extreme means are necessary to successfully defeat fascism and that doing so is a moral imperative.

I don't think DU'ers should pile in and whack the mercenaries' charred corpses with our own rhetorical shovels. That is clearly inhumane and counterproductive.

But saying that the mercenaries paid the price for the risks they willingly took is not extreme. Even being grudgingly glad that this event, as abhorent as it was, may hasten the disintegration of blind public support for this immoral war is not extreme.
