I think this is getting a little out of hand on both ends of the extreme.

I think Ted is a jerk. I don't hunt like him and he doesn't represent me or the way I hunt. I don't want to hunt with him and wouldn't recomend him as anybody's role model.

At the same time, even if I won't go so far as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", it doesn't mean it bothers me any if he gives the anti's a hard time nor would I do any thing at all to deter him from pursueing them all he cares to.

Doesn't mean I'm ready to elect him president of the NRA or anything though.

There's a LOT of jerks in every walk of life doesn't mean I have to invite one in to my home just because he hunts.
