It is amazing to me how clearly you see hateful religious bigotry, but so selectively see hateful bigotry,. I can think of no time PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH has ever hinted demoscum would attempt to suppress any votes. But kerry, what basis for such libel in innuendo???? A just released interpretaion of kerry innuendo. Kerry Hints GOP May Suppress Black Votes WASHINGTON (AP) ohn Kerry suggested Saturday night that Republicans may try to keep black voters from casting their ballots to help President Bush win in November. "We are not going to stand by and allow another million African American votes to go uncounted in this election," the Democratic presidential nominee told the Congressional Black Caucus. "We are not going to stand by and allow acts of voter suppression, and we're hearing those things again in this election." apnews.myway.com

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.
