The label "Fellow Travelers" has been
used in a variety of situations for many years. Growing up during the Cold
War I understood it to refer to Communist Party supporters and
sympathizers, who while not card carrying Communists, seemed to tow the
party line and give them aid and comfort.
The fact that a B-52 with a full USAF
crew recently appeared on static display in Russia -- to the delight of
autograph seeking Russians, is pretty persuasive evidence that the Cold
War is really over. However, the era of the "Fellow Traveler" is far
from over. This new breed of "Fellow Traveler" has, albeit subtly,
thrown in with Militant Islam to act as apologists for, and supporters of,
these barbarians we make war against.
Look for these vipers among elected
officials, in the media and in academia. Spotting them is easy. Remember,
if it looks like a snake, coils up like a snake, hisses like a snake and
slithers along the ground like a snake -- it probably is a snake.

examples of "Fellow Travelers".)
