Not quite... I should have used the word "argument" instead of "point", but we would have to see how Day would perform in such a post before your comments could be considered fact rather than bigotry.

Bigotry again?
What have I said that is bigotry? I did say "believing the earth is 6 or 10 thousand years old is stupid", but I also retracted my "everyone who believes that is stupid", which fits the accusation. Fine line I guess. I think it's a pretty dumb belief. Do you think it's a pretty smart belief?
I also think believing the earth is flat and the moon is made of cheese are pretty dumb beliefs as well. Is that further bigotry?
Pointing out the many flaws and foolishness of the dimwitted Stockwell Day (which hasn't really even been challenged with an argument) is not bigotry any more than saying "Jean Chretien is a crook" is bigotry. Saying that Day grossly unqualified for the job in question, is that bigotry?
I wouldn't hire a ditch-digger to remove my appendix. Is that bigotry?
This has been a rather confusing argument. Usually (always) it's the conservative types who jump all over the liberals for agreeing with everyone's beliefs, no matter how crazy, and being all tolerant and "moral relativism" and all that. Now it's turned around and when I say "Stockwell Day's extreme, non-mainstream beliefs are dumb", I'm a bigot.
