yes politics are personal, but more importantly they are about comprimise. the sign of any good political decision is that both sides walk away mildly unhappy (the quote is something like that, i think). but for people who are naturally liberal like you and I it seems disgusting that we would have to comprimise anything with someone who says such vicious and disgusting things.
but the only reason he has power is because in the bedrooms and dinning rooms of america there are millions who think even worse things. many of them are family. i know i can count my parents amongst the anti gay bush supporters, my mom once visited maine just to see where barbra bush vacationed. but should I smear their cars with shit and egg their houses? no, i allow them their opinions, however backward, and do my best to promote and support what i see to be right, because that is the idiotic justice of america. "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." HL Mencken

His anti-war stances are the product of a mixture of anti-semitism and old-fashioned isolationism. He wrote a fascinating article during the Clinton administration casting doubt on NAFTA and pointing out that the Republican party for most of its history was a high-tariff party to protect maufacturing and labor at home.
He may be a throw-back, Father Coughlin type, but I cannot agree that the best way to resist him and his ideas is through sophomoric acts of violence or puerile attempts at political theory. His ideas can be resisted and anything that might remotely be perceived by his base as making him a martyr should be avoided. They love that shit. Pat graciously deferred his opportunity to press charges, which makes him look magnanimous to his people, so in terms of hearts and minds, I think this stuff actually backfires.

he really barfs up some amazingly shameless "separate but equal" nostalgia stuff about segregation, it's not a surprise but it's still annoying, stupid, and (now) self pitying

"look at all of this weird anti-Semetic stuff Louis Farrakhan is saying in his new book"
― do not wake the dragon (DJP), Monday, 24 October 2011 16:47 (twelve years ago) link
I use the word weird here b/c of the deep obsession dude has with this stuff, and obviously disproportionately large amounts of time he's thought about it.
Maybe "creepy" is a better term.

It irks me that an Irish Catholic doesn't uinderstand the dangers of glossing over racism in American history and identity - but then it always has. Same for his sister, too.
