I agree that the behavior of a majority of right-wingers is odious. But their spouses and children are separate people, not objects of their actions. Even if this information could be found out in the public domain, to put it all in one place sends a message that they are "fair game." That may not be what this group intended, but it's a reasonable consequence.

Again, I think we can be very creative and aggressive (within the bounds of the law) in opposing people without resorting to this.
