>please re-examine the texts involved.

I did. I looked at them real hard. And I am even more offended this time
around. The original article is full of outright lies, false acusations,
and baseless attacks. I'll avoid repeating my responses since I've already
said my piece.

I cannot help that these attacks did not occur against something you
support or care about. Consequently don't try to judge something you
don't understand.

Now try and keep a straight face and tell me I shouldn't be offended.

If you're going to condone such behavior, take it elsewhere.

If someone says group A is this and that, and you do not belong to group A,
then you're going to support this someone when group A protests? For 
your sake, I doubt it. Otherwise please re-evaluate your ethics and morals.
