& I think you need to talk to some Rethugs and other right wingers about "otherizing." I am only speaking against them in self-defense. I don't hate people but I do call them at their hateful behavior.

"Fascists are not evil." -- well I can go with calling them sick malignant psychopaths, but I don't get there's much difference.

Evildoers are evil.

This is giving me a headache--maybe we can take it up later, since we agree on the extent of the problem--but you want to argue names for it? You'll have to convince me that some hardcore Rethuglicon really cares what I call him/her. (No personal put-downs tho--that's otherizing to me).
