I think it's an important point - why should those who are against nazis use the same tactics as they do? I prefer to point out the flaws in their argument than treat them as sub-human. |

That is really melodramatic.
The Neo-nazi's want people of various races, sexualities and cultures gassed to death in their millions.
George insulted someone because he was angry. There is no equivalence whatsoever.
I for one would have called him worse things than 'animal' |

go on then, suggest a better method that doesn't leave you looking like just as much of a foamer. |

"George insulted someone because he was angry"
This is my main point. If he had written a speech or an article which used this language i would agree with your premise, but he didn't. He said it in the heat of the moment, quite clearly a different thing from the deliberate hatred put out by these people. When i said i would have called him worse, i again meant in the moment, if you'll notice i haven't actually used any obscenities in this thread because i have had time to think about it. there is is the difference.
And of course you are right about rebutting them point by point, absolutely. |

But when I call a Nazi a despicable animal, I'm not using a "tactic", I'm speaking my mind. I don't care what propaganda value my words carry, I just say what I see. |
