So, should we just take your word for it, or what?
On the ever-so-slight defensive:
When it comes to speaking and writing on unpleasant matters, I learned a long time ago to stop apologizing. It is a waste of my breath, time, and energy to precede every political discussion with “I’m not saying all [X] are [Y].” Or: “Of course, I don’t hate all [Z] and please don’t misunderstand me, blah, blah, blah.”
Okay, I’ll go ahead and give you the benefit of the doubt and say you’re just the most unskilled rhetorician ever. Because even my four-year-old could recognize the associations and reactions you’ve worked so hard in building. So if you really want us to believe that none of this was your intent, that when you post jihad maps and calls to genocide and whatever the hell you call this, that you mean no sort of dehumanization or conflation, well…
…you’d have to really suck at this.
Basically what s/he is saying is that s/he learned to be an asshole.

Too right!
Logic and reason are overrated socialist crap from Karl Marx’s asshole.
I’ll use my reptilian brain for every decision! That’s the ticket!

The cut-and-paste queen should be grateful that she got mention in a legitimate newspaper.

She’s clearly having a writing comprehension problem.
