fedup, you're right when you say that "No one is defending the nutjob who mowed down a group of people with his car". I don't know why you say that because that has never been debated and I certainly never inferred it. The only reason I can see for you to say that is to twist what my point was, a perfect example of your practice to purposely distort and fabricate what people who have a point counter to yours have said so that it fits your agenda.
My point was that the man who murdered and critically injured more than a dozen innocent bystanders was from one side, the Nazi white supremacists, the nutjobs (your word).
You get no argument from anyone at all when you say that no one is defending one of those nutjobs (your word) who mowed down a group of people with his car. Everyone agrees...so why say it.

So, fedup, yours is the argument that is the very definition of a non-sequitur.
Non-sequiter - "a statement that is not connected in a logical or clear way to anything said before it."
