Rand Paul and Vladimir Putin may agree with me, but

I doubt it. I doubt either of them have even heard of me, so how could they?

And I have never agreed with them in the sense of agreeing with something they said for the reasons they said it.


Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Hitler was a vegetarian.

Being a vegetarian does not make you a genocidal monster.

Anyone from the National Beef Council who came here to repetitively post "Hitler was a vegetarian" would be a ridiculous and intellectually dishonest person. A really low sort.


Now, having said that...

Why would any vegetarian respond by posting things like, "Hitler speaks for me," or, "People's dismissal of Hitler's dietary advice is ugly bigotry," or anything like that?

Why?

Surely there is some way to promote vegetarianism without chomping the trolling bait by arguing with the National Beef Council on a playing field designed by the National Beef Council.
