I think the bigger problem is that ‘authority figures’ ie Mitch Roth, David Ige etc give these lunatics any credence whatsoever.
Though it does paint you in a rather poor light to call anyone a lunatic is certainly your prerogative. But to expect politicians to speak of their constituents like that is a little unrealistic methinks. Like it or not the people you speak disparagingly about are your neighbors. People who, I imagine, you'd take offense to if they spoke that way about you. People who, even though I am sure your opinion doesn't permit you to see clearly, are active members of your community. Some even celebrated, widely loved.
Maybe it'd be more better if you learned to respect folks with differing opinions rather then blind yourself to the world around you with your intolerance. After all, in the real world, they have the same rights to their opinion as you do yours. And, as much a right to speak it, and act upon it.
