I can see ignoring Grannt, because of his refusal to actually admit anything and answer direct questions, but to ignore another entire political viewpoint is suicidal, as your thoughts and beliefs become monolithic and impregnable, impervious to other information that may have some validity to it. For instance, we CANNOT simply ignore the fact that the U.S.'s refusal to back the Shiite and Kurdish uprisings in 1991 that we ourselves encouraged led to the direct slaughter of thousands of them when we did not give support - a horror and a shame, and one we owe those people for. It's a fact, not an opinion, that this happened, and naturally one has to accept it and view events with that in mind, that the U.S. does NOT ABANDON THESE PEOPLE OR THOSE IN AFGHANISTAN. Why we did so in 1991 has never been satisfactorily explained to me, and I will not accept it happening again.
Anyhow, as I said, I would sign on for ignoring Grantt, not that he would care one bit.
