re: #97 Killgore Trout

It’s also the same issue with Maher and Limbaugh. Sure they aren’t perfectly analogous but the one key difference determining the outrage is their political affiliation. Nobody really gives a shit about “elevating the discourse” or free speech issues. It’s all just phony partisan outrage.

I agree that there is much selective partisan outrage, but your broad-brush guilt-by-association tactics certainly lower the discourse - and that’s true whether we’re talking about OWS or the Tea Party.
