Prejudice is an act of violence.

Excessive praise arises from the same bigotry matrix as excessive criticism.

Bigotry against any group should be disqualifying for high office.

However modest one may be in one's demand for intellectual cleanliness, one cannot help feeling, when coming into contact with the New Testament, a kind of inexpressible discomfiture: for the unchecked impudence with which the least qualified want to raise their voice on the greatest problems, and even claim to be judges of things, surpasses all measure. The shameless levity with which the most intractable problems (life, world, God, purpose of life) are spoken of, as if they were not problems at all but simply things that these little bigots KNEW!

It's not about whether or not someone is a bigot, but whether or not the argument which that someone is arguing is worth being a bigot about.
