"Single interest" symbol is a rabbit. Could this be at all related to "bunny-hugging" eco-terrorists (as noted above)? (Maybe a Monkey Wrench would've been too subtle). Until I zoomed, the "Far right" icon looked like Kruschev (err...no), but then it looked like Eisenhower(!). Now, at third glance, it looks like James Carville. Anyway, a fun graphic on many levels.

I couldn't even decide for sure if that's what it was supposed to be, though. Their icons are weird in general. The "Other religious extremists" icon looks a lot like the Amnesty International logo. I think my favorite is the "single interest" bunny, though. I guess you can never be too careful around Animal Rights activists and other bunny lovers. I don’t know, but I wondered about that myself.
