FB friends.... help

I posted this article with the commentary that I don't understand this way of thinking.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/24/us/politics/rick-santorum-attracts-votes-of-conservative-women.html?_r=1&hpw

my neighbor posted that she considers it hate speech to say these women aren't thinking.

Re: FB friends.... help

  • I certainly wouldn't degrade the concept of hate speech by referring to what was said there as "hate speech," but I do think a far more constructive criticism would be a substantive discussion of Rick Santorum's various flaws as a candidate and human being rather than a sweeping dismissal of his supporters as unthinking. However, I do realize it's FB so pithy responses are the norm. 

    ETA: I will put my money where my mouth is and post something. :-) 

  • I don't think they aren't "thinking" I just don't understand that way of thinking. I can understand where people are coming from on a lot of issues, but I just don't understand the life experiences of those in the article and how they got to their beliefs.(except maybe stockholm syndrom :-))
