re: #45 lawhawk

How could someone supposedly so smart say something so incredibly dumb.

I almost gave a negative response to this and then remembered a speech she gave concerning radical islam at a university a few years back. She was careful to distinguish between ‘radical muslim extremists’ and nonviolent muslims. She did so with eloquence and intelligence.

And then we have this quip from her, from the pits of wilfull ignorance. My only guess is that some are so tied to their political beliefs that they are willing to sacrifice rationalism in an effort to avoid either questioning their governing assumptions or ruffling the feathers of their base. Or both.

Thoughts?
