No. I vociferously disagree with that. Actually, I agree with the letter of what you said, but I think advocating discrimination against a large amount of people is much, much more reprehensible than embarassing one individual. |
I certainly agree with that. I have much more contempt for Bush for that reason, but it is still no excuse for John Kerry to do what he did.

Like I said, an embarassment is not made null just because it is made public. I think the analogy I made earlier can draw a good perspective on why that is.
