How many times do I need to go over something like this?

People commit acts. Not ideas. Blaming “right-wingers” or any other group for the actions of an individual who might share some general ideas. It would be equally ignorant to blame homosexuals, anyone with homosexual tendencies, or homosexuality for a single instance of a Catholic Priest sexually molesting a young boy.

When these types of stories arise, I really wish people could see past the ignorance of their ignorant, irrational, and reckless hate to actually think about the situation rather than looking for a way to spin the news to fit their pipe-dream of black/white-good/evil-left/right idiocy.
