    Semantic hair splitting. Boo.

Agreed, it's silly to focus on which adjective we apply to people like Roseanna and Amy, and "the scope of what constitutes racism." The label is used like "terrorist" to guarantee condemnation and cut off discussion.

Does Rep. Omar in fact advocate Sharia law? Might such advocacy be likely to lead to changes in U.S. law? Would such changes be harmful or beneficial?
