To me, the OP was immediately identifiable as invalid bigotry, with no point to be seen for any span of time, and was undeserving of even the slightest hint of defense.
Couple that with Honeycombe8's earlier question, "What's wrong with it?", the fact that the OP has posted at least a couple homophobic statements in the past, and I hope my response becomes understandable.

So, it's OK to post blatantly right-wing garbage as long you don't write an opinion and shrug?

Why? Saudi Arabia has almost nothing to do with our problems with oil dependancy.
