I don't agree that their prejudice is far more dangerous. However prejudiced and bigoted their message, they are willing to stand up and be counted. These Internet Warriors wouldn't have the guts to say to someone's face the stuff they type. The Internet allows every moron in the world to log on and have a say without having to face up to the consequences... only now, they do have to face them.

I read on Yahoo yesterday some of the things people were saying about the Jewish kids being shot dead; contemptible, shameful things. And yet, amazingly, there will be those who will try to defend the indefensible. I can understand people feeling strongly about the right to free speech, I'm just surprised those people don't take it up as a cause to try to help those who truly need it; people who face imprisonment and even death for speaking out against a government or regime... not for someone who thinks three dead children is fair recompense for Palestine, or that a man facing death is so worthless he can be ridiculed simply because he's black.
