Cdub100 3,979 Posted Wednesday at 07:31 PM This guy goes out and talks to people. TALKS to people.

I don't think you're on of those guys, but theGeneral, Ron, Sandy, Squidly - I'm not buying it. Totally fair. But you and I have certainly engaged in our fair share of heated rhetoric exchange, and I can confidently say that neither of us is directly causing these problems. We contribute to the malaise, but to lay an assassination at the feet of everyone that disagrees with the politics of the victims will just shove us further down. It's an easy reaction, but we should do our level best to avoid it. I strongly disagree with Kirk's politics, but that shlt was heinous. I wish I hadn't watched the close up video.

When you dehumanize your opponents by calling them Nazi's, bigots, racists, homophobes that turns them into demons so members of YOUR side of the aisle don't see them as humans anymore. So killing them becomes easy.
