...see, this is the problem with politeness taken too far, as exemplified by the American left. At first, you want to let people have their fair say. That's good. But then you start letting random frothing lunatics have their say and (here's where you trip up) pretending that because they believe in what they're saying, you're obliged to treat it seriously rather than laughing in their faces and making fun of them on the evening news.
Luckily, I don't come from a tradition of doing that.

"I'm using his words. His ideas. What exactly is the point of psychoanalyzing what he says."
"Your right I don't know his name, but I don't know it on purpose. He wants me to consider his name a household one. He wants me to pay attention to my destroyer's greatness. He wants me to know who is killing me."

"By the way, now I'm going to display some nifty-fine appalling ignorance about what the Koran is, when it was written, by whom, what it says in it, and then compare it directly to both Mein Kampf AND Hitler's little-known second published work, 'How to make the stock market work for you and also kill all the Jews.'"
"Bear in mind I'm also on record for saying Islam is inherently irrational to the West as it stands."
"But then, this makes sense. I mean, -I- don't understand the first thing about Islam, so it therefore follows nobody can, am I right? Right? ...right?"
"But I'm not racist! I'm just, you know, a REALIST."
