It is obvious that this attitude of not criticizing a group's supporters is not held by everyone since the OC supporters seem to be fair game.Bladed wrote:To me, criticizing supporters of a group is a cheap ploy. It's like when the media makes a big deal out of the fact that somebody is an NRA member, as in, "The legislator carrying the new gun control bill says he is a long-time member of the NRA," or, "The killer's Facebook profile describes him as a member of the NRA." Joining some group's Facebook page or paying a $25 annual due doesn't make you a representative of that group. If it did, I'd join Moms Demand Action and then streak across the White House lawn, wearing nothing but an elephant thong.
It is the supporters of a group that makes the group. The NRA is the members. MDA is the supporters. If no one supported them they would go away. The antis especially the media listen to them and helps spread their message.
