"All that you and the other "Useful Idiots" can do is hurl abuse"

There seems something a bit odd about that sentence of Gareth. He seems to imply that hurling abuse at people we disagree with is not a good thing to do (and I quite agree - and I think the heading of the thread is a mistake and a distraction), but at the same time he proceeds to do precisely that. And I know it's a quote, but that doesn't amount to a relevant difference.
