I think all of you folks are wrong about d.taggart and jim thompson. They are simply voicing rejection of an institution and they base their rejection upon the very actions of that institution. We may not like their opinions, but those opinions are valid and they do not constitute bigotry at all. They would be bigots were they to express hatred of Italians, Hispanics and the Irish in the same way Emile expresses hatred for Jews. Were Emile to limit his hatred only to Judaism or to those who commit or enable evil, then his message would be quite valid (though perhaps not true).

It is perfectly permissible to express rejection of a church or of heathen religion. Merely because these guys reject the Roman Catholic Church doesn't make them bigots, however much we may disagree with them. So the way to handle what they are saying here is not to call them names, but to answer their objections with reason.

The way to handle Emile is to simply call him names, heaping pints of eSpit upon him.
