It has been my experience that most hams skew to the far right politically.

Zach,

I'm sorry to hear that.  But, although we'd like to think otherwise, ham
radiodom is really a microcosm of society, kind of, except that I think the
ham radio demographic would skew a bit more toward upper middle class and
white than general society makeup.

While their conduct may be offensive, it was not illegal.  If it bothers
you, as one guy told me when I complained on some of their rants on 3895,
just use your index finger and change the frequency.

The only thing that concerns me on using a repeater to carry on that kind of
QSO is that a lot of non-hams will hear it.  I can't count the times that
I've walked into Radio Shack or somewhere where they were monitoring one of
our local repeaters.
