Honestly, I don't bother paying any mind to them.
I am however reminded of the words of Mathew Shephard's mother when she came to speak at my college. She mentioned them. "Honestly, I'm quite thankful they show up. Whenever they do show up and make asses of themselves, I get double the turnout and every single one of them is twice as sympathetic to human suffering as they would normally be." Now thatis inspiring. The fact that these people are so universally reviled that they inspire acceptance and solidarity concerning the oppressed in all those they meet. People like that are a constant living reminder to all of us to be more compassionate, because those people are what happens when compassion leaves the building.
