I agree that bigotry cannot be tolerated and must be met head on. That being said, I also think there is a difference between meeting said bigotry "head on" and playing in to their hands by posting their tweets in discussion forums. I truly think that this is what they desire most.

What's the appropriate and most effective way of dealing with these ass clowns? -I'm not sure, I just know they'd be happy to see that we're talking about them at all and I'm not interested in their happiness.

Post shared, you've convinced me. Let the mocking begin!

I think they want us to be outraged; mocking is unlike outrage, so I doubt they enjoy it quite as much.

A valid point. I'll reserve my outrage and once again call them "ass clowns" :)
