You read this post, and I'm the one you take offense at? WTH?

No, I've read your previous posts and THAT'S what I take offence at.

One look at the source is all I need.

One look at the prestigious left-wing blog Harry's Place was all you needed to dismiss the glaring, well-sourced evidence?

Harry's Place is considered leftist? Harry sure had me fooled.

A cause is not discredited merely because it has assholes working for it.

Also, don't you get tired?

"A cause is not discredited merely because it has assholes working for it."

I'm afraid you'll have to reformulate that sentence if it is supposed to be relevant here.

"A political organization is not discredtid merely because one of its leading members promotes neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers."

Do you still agree with it?

"Also, don't you get tired?"

Huh? IIRC, this is my second post ever in this community. And I only comment sporadically on others.

Yes of course I still agree with it. A political organization is only discredited if it actually stands for something awful. The actions/beliefs of one member, even a high ranking one, do not discredit the whole thing.

For someone who doesn't post much you sure do have a theme to your comments.

Perhaps "discredited" might be too strong a term. But doesn't it at least raise questions, that must be answered by this organization if it wants to remain in any way respectable?

Especially if the actions of that member fit into a pattern of questionable behaviour exhibited by the group in the past (even though they exceed it in odiousness)?

It's quite pathetic how you're trying to downplay this. I assume if the chair of, say, the Illinois Tea Party had a website promoting neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers, that would not reflect negatively on the Tea Party either?

Besides, he made these blog posts months ago - why haven't they kicked him out, or at least taken his title away yet?

So, to go back to my Tea Party analogy - that would not be deserving of "an entire post" either? (I mean, it's just ONTD Political after all - I'm not calling for it to make the front page of the NYT.)

That website is quite a messy eyesore, but I couldn't find anybody else named as chair on there either.
