Or are we to sit back and simply tsk tsk them for their statements?

I'll ask again, btw.  Do you not think that equating Hamas with elements of the Israeli government is a bridge too far?  

With "elements" of it?  Not if there is supporting evidence.

What's the old line from the 80s? One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter?  That's not to defend terrorism but to say perspective matters too.

There are "elements" of the gop that one could post evidence they support fascism.  

I still don't think we can say that a fellow poster is a "fascist apologist".

In the border thread there are some pretty severe thoughts on how to treat immigrants.  No one has been called a xenophobe.

If someone posts repeatedly the hate gay people and gay people are bad and need to be eliminated or forced to change or not act so "swishy" maybe you have a point. Perspective.

But I still think on these board labeling them would be frowned upon.
