re: #90 sliv_the_eli

The analogy is apt, though. It is about showing sensitivity to the victims, regarldess of what legal rights one might possess. Nazis had a right to march in Skokie under the U.S. Constitution, but others had the right to point out the insensitivity of their doing so without being accused of forgetting that Nazis have rights too. (Personally, I prefer the way Belushi and Aykroyd dealt with marching Nazis, but that’s another matter.)

People aren’t merely pointing out alleged insensitivity here - they are using smear campaigns, well-organized smear campaigns that play off the fears of Muslims taking over America, the President being a sekrit Muslim, with the full backing of right-wing pundits with radio programs that reach millions. Bad comparison.
