Youre pretty much dead on. Its convenient for deceived people, who hate themselves (and hate knows religious, political, nor ethnic boundariess), to take things entirely out of context, and spew their hate at any and everyone. Like in the video, its lack of control of the emotions, sad, but a reality.
As to my post that set him off, consider the life of Jesus, himself. "Render unto Ceasar what is his, and unto God that which is his." paraphrased. All we have is scanty records of what he said, but I dont really recall him delving into politics. He focused on the Word, which is all I suggested.
