That's not called discrimination, that's called judgment. As for this whole notion of fighting for what's right, think about it this way. If some fringe group started blowing up buildings in the US to "protest" against government and society, how would they be labeled? You don't have to imagine it, because we have a real group- ELF. They burned down a $20 million dollar construction project not four miles from my house a few years ago. They are known as eco-terrorists. Imagine that ELF got caught and escaped justice due to a legal technicality at trial. If the head of ELF lived in my neighborhood and offered to host a cocktail party at his house to get me started in politics, should I say, oh what the heck, that was ten years ago, sure, go ahead and do that for me, thanks? I would never accept such an offer, I would not associate with him in any way, and I would be very critical of anyone who did. Again, that is called judgment. > > > From where I sit, I don't need to listen to rumors from 40 years ago > to discriminate against the guy.
