You made a good, obvious point on Facebook. Sadly, the reaction was to be expected at this half-baked stage in the popular discourse, if we can call it that.
I'm about 99% in agreement with what you said. I still hold out just a shred of doubt about 1/06 and what I'd like to hear is a rational discussion based on an unbiased investigation of the event. I'm convinced, however, that both the discussion and the unbiased investigation are utterly impossible in our "polarized" political environment. Or what might be more accurately described as an environment of unceasing infantile hissy fits. Hence the instant charge of "fascist" leveled at a perfectly rational statement like yours.
