133. Isn't one of the hallmarks of liberal thinking that all people are worthy
of compassion and understanding?

I'm not sure how saying that child molestors are never forgivable is any different than saying homosexuals are never forgivable, or that thiefs are never forgivable, or that deserters are never forgivable, or that a woman who had an abortion is never forgivable, or that divorce is never forgivable, etc.

I like to think that one of the highest marks of liberals is that we believe that all people are failable, and thus all people are worth equal consideration as fellow human beings, no matter their social status, race, gender, sexuality, crimes, behaviors, etc.
