Stop being polite to wingnuts

Is de message in this post at Pharyngula, inspired by
one of the more inane rightwingers objecting to Amnesty International’s use of the word gulag:

So the ugly truth is that the Republican party is the party of torture and detainment and extraordinary rendition and murder. The Republican party is the party of Gitmo and Abu Ghraib. The Republican party is the party of homophobia and fear. The Republican party is the anti-science party, the party of ignorance.

If you are conservative and don’t like being tagged as a fascist tool of corporate and religious interests, or being told that you support superstition over science, don’t complain to me. Redirect your anger at your party’s leaders, who have justified those insults a thousand times over.
