(19,497 posts)So? You don't think there are opportunists to be found in every cause? Do you think class-action and personal injury lawyers are motivated by a deep, abiding concern for the little guy? Do you think the politicians offering you the world on a silver platter care one wit about the hopes and dreams of Tommy Carcetti?
You complain about disingenuousness and cynicism yet I can't help but think you aren't motivated by sensitivity for the tenets of violent extremists so much as you are motivated by your disgust in Gellar. "She's the wrong political persuasion so she should not be defended," is the monstrosity I spoke about earlier. NO GOOD THING can come of that.
I don't care what motivates Gellar. What motivates ME is MY freedom and I will not concede to maniacs who think they can murder whoever offends their petty sensibilities. These same maniacs have murdered plenty of those who aren't Pam Gellar, i.e. Theo Van Gogh. Stop making excuses for maniacs.
