Our point, which appears to have evaded you, is that Pender is being passed off by others as something he is not. He and his wrong-headed screed have, predictably, been taken up by the knee-jerk right-wing crowd. His message is now being propagated around the ‘Net, and every time it is forwarded, the collective value of the public debate is lowered another notch.

Not that we expect our deconstruction of his blatherings are going to change anything. It just scratches an itch we have, not to let this willful ignorance go unrecorded.

He also never titled it Axis of Idiots. Pender sent this years ago to his private e-mail list and it got circulated on the Internet. Whether you agree or not, it was his personal opinion sent to friends and last time I checked, that was still allowed.
