"wrong with", "outlaw" ... ???
The question is whether this crud belongs at this website.
For some reason I find myself comparing your dislike of the owner of the CorneredCat website because she had a association with a lady who was married to an "ugly, misogynist racist" to the current tactic that the Republicans are using to paint Obama in a bad light because he once associated with college professors whose views conservatives dislike.
Yeah, and last time the attempted analogy was to that Rev. Wright.
If you think a right-wing woman married to an notorious misogynist racist is somehow analogous to "college professors whose views conservatives dislike", well, all I can say is that I don't suffer such confusion when it comes to my own values.
And if right-wingers don't want those professors' views touted at their websites, that's their choice, eh?
I often disagree with the political views of writers who discuss firearms and shooting but I sometimes find the information that they provide about guns, accessories and the shooting sports interesting and valuable. I simply tend to ignore the views of such writers on politics. If I want to read political views and commentary, I go to political web sites.
The item cited in the OP was "political views and commentary", which is what this website is actually about. Just not right-wing views and commentary, which is what the item cited in the OP is.
Or did you miss what I already posted from Marko's blog? --
I think it's not much of a secret that we'll be voting on the (R) ballot tomorrow, and that our two votes are going to go to the only guy in the race who does more than give lip service to the Constitution, even if that means the majority of the population sorts him in with the handful of nuts. (That would be the Congressman from Texas, Dr. Paul.)

Hah. Notice how our gun nuttiness has kept us from becoming subjects over the last 20 years?

I wish there were no nuclear weapons. But it is immoral to say "some for me, none for thee."

There are, of course, lunatics--some of whom probably consider themselves Democrats--
