Reply #31: This has opened up some appalling points of view

[bluestateguy]

I have been surprised and bothered to see that some people on this board think it's OK to bash soldiers like Pat Tillman, which is even more despicable when he's dead and can't defend himself.

I also find it bothersome that some of the same people who scream bloody murder when I or others use words like "bitch" (usually to describe people like Condoleeza Rice or Ann Coulter) demand that such speech be censored, while they cheer on the deaths of American soldiers and make excuses for Palestinian suicide bombers.
One poster even has a hammer and sickle next to a picture of Lenin as a signature photo.

Not that I'm for censoring such views, I generally think we should err on the side of allowing speech, rather than censoring it.

But, oh the irony.
