"Scientist" @samharrisorg stubbornly referring to Breivik as 'psychopathic' and a 'lunatic' despite official verdicthttp://www.samharris.org/blog/item/lifting-the-veil-of-islamophobia …
@linkshund Psychopaths are "moral lunatics" -- a phrase that doesn't originate with me.

@SamHarrisOrg You'll have to elaborate. He seems like a murderer with an extremely coherent and thought-out ideology, not a 'lunatic". -
@linkshund You seem to know nothing about psychopathy. It is a very well characterized condition -- for which there is no current treatment. -
.
@SamHarrisOrg I'm not sure you followed the case. He was found sane. It'd be a very odd verdict to find actual bona fide psychopaths sane. -
@linkshund@SamHarrisOrg Being a psychopath does not mean you're insane... You have no idea what you're talking about. -
@Ameriman1984@SamHarrisOrg So there's no contradiction between being legally sane and a psychopath and only 'lunatic' was inaccurate? -
@linkshund@SamHarrisOrg What a bizarre quibble, though. Who cares what words he used to describe that monster? It's absurdly moot... -
.
@Ameriman1984 It is very important. By denying his sanity@SamHarrisOrg can ignore the role of Breivik's anti-multicultural ideology. -
@linkshund@SamHarrisOrg I don't think Sam was doing that. Why would that matter to him at all? - 13 more replies
