re: #105 Sergey Romanov

Yes. Republicans are too varied to be collectively blamed for the extremists among their midst. I won’t blame 50 million people or so for the deeds of individuals.

So when the Pauls and the Reagans talk about States Rights and the Cantors entertain Birtherism, these are just the actions of individuals acting, you know, individually. When posters on Fox Nation call for lynchings, these are just the actions of individuals acting, you know, individually. The party on the other hand is all about fiscal conservativism, a strong defense and family values. Right?

By your standard, are groups ever responsible for their individuals? Or are the actions of their individuals conveniently dispensable?
