Quote:First They Came for the Jews
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
Pastor Martin Niemöller
I respectfully suggest that the morality or lack thereof of the people you are so eager to condemn is not the issue here. Is it not comproming your own morality--concept of right and wrong; belief in fair play; justice for all--to overlook the larger picture just so you can see somebody you despise be taken down? For instance, it was not okay for Bill Clinton to be 'falsely accused' because you liked him, but it is okay for a Bill O'Reilly to be 'falsely accused' because you despise him?
I would like to think it is possible for even those on the left to have some sense of propriety here.
