I don't know about the un-American coward part, but the rest of it sounds like it could have come from Elmo's fingers.
Lenas, it was that particular sentence that sent my BS-o-meter into overdrive. The rest of the statement could be written off to a passive-aggressive attack on an amalgam of conservative/libertarian/states rights beliefs as interpreted by someone who doesn't wish to understand the real beliefs, but that sentence was over the top. I have a feeling DE was referencing Elmo by stating he'd "heard one person here espouse exactly these views", but there's no way Elmo would make that statement as it's inconsistent with the rest of his beliefs. Agree with his beliefs, or not, Elmo's pretty darn consistent.
I wasn't referring to Elmo, but if you remove the "Un-American coward" part, it's not all that functionally different from what he advocates, either.
