If you're going to go Biblical on me, then I have to point to the part that
says "Ye shall know them by their works." So given his record, yeah, I'd say
he fits the bill.

The "hate the sin love the sinner" thing is also a great remover of
responsibility. It also is used primarily by Christians, and I do not fall
into that camp.
