Allow me to paraphrase K from Men In Black. A person is smart and rational, but people as a group are just bat sh*t insane. This group of extra crazy is calling for David Letterman's head on a pike because he told a bawdy joke about one of Sarah Palin's daughters last week. And these days nothing brings out the crazies like politics.
Now I'm no master debater (see what I just did there?), but I'm pretty sure if you're trying to protest someone else's "hate speech" calling their son a bastard and their wife a slut pretty much derails your point.
