I consider myself pretty moderate, but nothing makes me more annoyed than disability!fail, and I say this as a queer Jewish woman. Okay, exploiting or denying the Holocaust comes close. And I get really really really annoyed at liberal Christians calling different christian fundamentalist groups' teaching the group's Talmud, as a way to call it legalistic and therefore wrong, because what's your criticism of the fundamentalists of your faith without taking a jab at the traditions of a frequently oppressed people? for some reason, right now, this type of fail is pretty acceptable in polite society.
