But here’s your problem — six degrees to Kevin Bacon, or the KKK, gets the whole world.

Imagine again ISIS — willing to kill and die for their cause. Cast your net a bit wider to the people who are willing to give them material support. Cast your net a bit wider to the people who are willing to give them moral support. Cast your net a bit wider to the people who support sharia law. Cast your net a bit wider to the people who sympathize with sharia law. Cast your net a bit wider to the people who protest Islamophobia.

Pretty soon, you’ve become ISIS.

Neither Breitbart nor Infowars are equivalent to dailystormer or stormfront. Conflating them simply shows the larger middle of this country that you are willing to dehumanize your enemies in order to justify violence against them, the same way Nazis and Communists did.
