We have here a tirade that includes insulting comments on Arabs, those who do not agree with the war, Catholics, Muslims, Germans. We have provocative statements based upon untruths. We have baiting.
We even have that Internet legendary joke of using Nazism to further one's point of view.
I don't normally say this, but not only am I annoyed at this stream of invective, but more disgusted that not a single mod has made a comment about it.
What's this place coming to?

The reason he's not "been called out" is probably because there is nothing wrong with what he posted. Out of the groups you named, the only one he could be considered openly offensive to is Catholics and those who don't agree with the war. And his claims about Catholics could be defended as true (and many a lefty would probably agree with them). As for those who do not agree with the war, they say things just as inflammatory about anyone who doesn't share their viewpoint. Honestly, it just seemed you highlighted anything that cast the lefties in a less then perfect light, and assumed that is enough for action to be taken.
Much like how Rove is condemned for speeking what he feels is true where liberals are given a pass for slander, libel, and treasonous speech.
