You know they're trouble when they advocate toppling democratically elected leaders and replacing them with... well, themselves, basically. They are saying, more or less, that our elected leaders are doing such a terrible job of governing that they should be violently overthrown and replaced with non-elected leaders. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS a bad idea.
I've got an idea: wait until 2008.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
