Well, if Hasan is an objectionable example, then use  the Tsarnev brothers....

I think you and others here are missing the larger point, one that I've obviously failed to make.

Let's try this:

Suppose this essay was written by a Trad, and basically said:  "The U.S. is a Christian nation, and abortion has been illegal  for most of U.S. history, and all of Catholic history.   Meet Janet!  She chose not to have an abortion, and she is so happy now with her new baby.  You see, Janet proves that pro choice laws are neither American nor are they Christian.  When you vote this week, if you don't vote pro choice, then you're not in line with American or Catholic values."

Now, if that had been the essay,  would you or others here have disputed it?  

Probably so, even though the essay's points are arguably factually correct.

Would I blame you for taking an opposing view of such an essay?

NOPE, because I recognize there IS another side to the issue.  There always is.  Always.
