She certainly did seem confused. Man, my head hurt so much reading that post I had to stop after every couple of paragraphs.
She never came right out and said 'Agenda' and yet she'd clearly been influenced by that model... the paragraph I picked on to quote reads like a fannish-language paraphrase of something Pat Robertson's speechwriters came up with. Which is both why I picked on it and why it impelled me to say something.
The fact that kantayra et al. don't grasp the dangerousness of the idea they've put forth and praised doesn't make them less dangerous -- if anything, it makes them more so.
