“These lowlife scum should just be mowed down like terrorists,” writes one good Christian.

Interesting example of providing no context for a quote.

Also an intructional lesson on why it is important to only post what you want to have seen in a NY Times article. Posters who constantly post inflammatory and hateful missives are much the same as Fred Phelps: agents of the left looking to discredit Christians and conservatives from within.

Just what context could you construct to mitigate the meaning of the quote?

The posts here stand on their own. The poster has to defend it when it is "out there".
