Good Video. I feel bad that even today many atheists want to lose Madalyn. I don't know why. if you listen to the audio files of her radio shows she was polite and well mannered and used many of the same arguments being used still today amongst the "new atheists" but poor Madalyn is still considered a pariah even amongst most atheists. Not including myself
She was a pioneer, and at times she could be quite blunt. For the most part, though, she was indeed polite and well mannered. I guess the reason many (perhaps even among atheists) want to disassociate with her is because she was viewed as an incredible radical, she was outspoken, and she used the media to maximum affect to spread the message. Perhaps a comparison to the methods of Richard Dawkins could be useful? Richard is one of my all-time heroes, but Madalyn has my respect as well.
