That sort of rhetoric seems to be common in some circles these days, but the dehumanizing stuff bothers me. You can justify a lot of otherwise terrible actions if you tell yourself they aren't real people. I don't want drag this too far afield, but people sometimes wonder how Govt sanctioned mass murder happens, well that is how it happens. I am sure most who use that rhetoric aren't thinking anything as bad as that, but it bothers me anyway.
