Reply #221: Most bashing does not equal to most no. of people doing the bashing imo

[Reterr]

A vocal minority is all that is needed to create the volume. As for the Kooch, I don't think people like him because of the veganism (hell I am a vegan and I wouldn't vote for someone on that one issue-specially if that is just their dietary preference and not an indication that they will do something about the USDA/the meat industry/factory farming etc.). I think with some it is in spite of that ;) :P.
Anyway I don't mean to come across as whiny-I just think that vegs get bashed more than most other groups on the left, because a certain group of people associate all of us with the craziest and most militant PETAns(again who are a very vocal minority in the AR movement) out there.
