re: #400 Decatur Deb

Geez, I’m being contrary today. I hate the use of that language for anyone, anyplace. It does start you to Babi Yar or the killing fields. (Don’t know Taranto, guessing the ‘lice’ quote is real and from the NYT guy.)

Only partially concur. Nothing wrong with saying this about particular bad guys, as long as you are very careful with delineation. E.g.: neo-Nazis are lice.

“Right-wing lice” is indeed out of bounds.
