And you know that they are not being chided or scolded in any way how? Let us not forget a couple of sayings, the latter which could be fitting for the original topic of this thread; “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” Voltaire. And finally, “sometimes if you give someone enough rope, they’ll hang themselves.”

So… if you were a member of some certain group, and the group had someone in it who espoused this sort of talk, and that talk was not in line with the moral compass of the group, you would ignore the person, let him go on staining the rest of the group, because you like pithy sayings like “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.”

Naw… I’d rather take a stand and say something and get rid of that person.

But that’s just me. I’ve met a lot of conservatives that have surprised THIS CONSERVATIVE by displaying any sense of a moral base.

Like you.
