My point is I don’t care how controversial or offensive you may find a poster’s comments, this a better forum if we’re not all linking to dailykos.
Controversy isn't the issue here...it's how he's choosing to spread his info."If you leave ignorance and stupidity alone, ignorance and stupidity will think it's ok."

Jericho is right. The thread has been derailed and I am at least partially responsible. If someone wants to continue elsewhere I’ll respond, but not here.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

In all this- IMHO people have the right to their opinions and to express them. They also should to do so in a way that isn't based on them thinking they are the only person in the world that is important. With rights come responsibility. Vigorously disagree with opinions all you want. Tell people they are way off base- OK. Get personal and nasty? No. Personal freedoms do not extend to being a twat for the sake of being one.
