31. I agree--it is good to expose it, but its exposure also
gives it a kind of legitimacy that is dangerous. Sure, Tweety seemed to deal with it successfully by having Katrina there, but once these freaks start getting air time, they will be considered legitimate by Faux and others. Just notice how Buchanan started to grow the same horns the longer he talked.

I used to think the same thing about Limpballs--the more he talked, the more he was exposed. Somehow, however, it didn't quite work out that way.

I am not for censorship, but I think there is a large percentage of this population that feed on these kind of sentiments--and I don't think these kinds of sentiments have any place in civic discourse or need to be fed.
