naomi24, I haven't said anywhere that I hate her or consider her a nazi. I very clearly said I find her a sad figure, being apparently so propelled by the rage she feels about gays and other subjects, and I contested the suggestion that she's "mad". I said she seems to be on the same spectrum of obsessive hatred as Hitler. That doesn't make her a nazi, I don't think she is a nazi. She is obviously at the non-genocide end of that spectrum. You also made an assumption about "Expressing opinions that oppose the liberal left" - this I'm sure will apply to some people but I couldn't give a toss about the liberal left and whether it's opposed; I think some of what she says opposes the concept of just being humane.
I don't wish to silence her - okay I wouldn't lose any sleep if she suddenly went away but I agree, people should be free to express their views, of course they should. The trouble is, as Lazy Gun says, she makes herself into a cartoon figure and renders it difficult to take her seriously. I believe she does something of a disservice to the debate in the same that way that, yes, those on the other side do when they scream "racism" or "homophobia" without justification.
flip flop - re irony: you criticise people who over-react to views that oppose their own, but in doing so you support Phillips who does exactly that, as do many of her supporters. She says: "It's all part of the ruthless campaign by the gay rights lobby to destroy the very concept of normal sexual behaviour". She doesn't agree with gay rights, so says this. Can you honestly tell me, hand on heart, that you agree with it? Or that at least, it isn't the same as the "homophobia" wailers? (to use your word!).
By the way I do agree about Thomas. I never used to be too keen but I'm a big fan now.
