    Fun fact: awful people agreeing for bad reasons doesn’t make the cause itself bad. You’re falling for one of the oldest yellow journalism tricks in the book.

    This is the equivalent of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association publishing an excerpt from Mein Kampf extolling the virtues of vegetarianism.

      Didn’t Nazi Germany ban vivisection?

      What do you think of George Galloway’s condemning Israel? He’s right, but he has a few flaws (though certainly not as bad as the Nazis—I was a little ticked at people citing him several hours ago, though).

        Same deal, basically, though not QUITE as bad: afair Galloway is very right about some things for good reasons (Israel obviously being one of them) and very wrong about others and possibly corrupt to boot.

        His faults and bad ideas are irrelevant to whether or not genocide is bad, just like the theocratic despot in the article.

          okay.
