The President is a human being and his supporters are human beings.

They are foolish or evil, or more likely both, but are human beings.

Dehumanizing opponents does nothing to help us. Describing other people the way we describe animals ("mongrel", "subhuman") is a strategy that accomplishes nothing.

It wins no converts, it gives enemies resolve.

“The President is a human being and his supporters are human beings.”

Absolutely not. Human beings don’t ally themselves with al-Qaeda. Human beings don’t fight tooth and nail to defend partial birth abortion (or any abortion for that matter). Human beings don’t silence dissent or order jackbooted thugs to violate the Constitution.

“Dehumanizing opponents does nothing to help us. Describing other people the way we describe animals (’mongrel’, ‘subhuman’) is a strategy that accomplishes nothing.”

Funny how Juan McLame and Mitt Trotsky used that strategy and lost, huh?
