I don't have an opinion about this yet.
I'm looking for more than a word or a sentence taken out of context.
The "evidence" presented here is sensationalized to the point of unreliability. The lack of contextual framing demonstrates the quickness with which people are ready to make ethical judgements of the deepest kind based on partial statements.
I'm reminded of Jesse Jackson's "Hymietown" remark. I don't believe Jackson is a proponent of hate because of that statement. I believe he probably has a pattern of speaking disrespectfully of certain groups and that's not commendable. I don't think Rush is to be commended for this either. I don't speak that way myself.
What I'm objecting to is the level of discourse - it's emotional and not rational. No one gets convinced of anything in discussions of this sort. And the forum becomes a place where people simply type out their own rigid and inflexible conceptions of things.
