Sometimes good people support bad organizations

I was reading a friend of a friend's blog the other night and was reminded that sometimes otherwise kick-ass people support really bad organizations.

I hope this doesn't sound like an indictment/judgment about anyone in particular - especially Mickity, whom I've never met but, based on her blog, is someone I probably have a lot in common with. This is more of a reminder to myself not to automatically judge people who may be out ringing bells for the Salvation Army, supporting the Knights of Columbus, or even - *gasp* - shopping at Walmart.

There's a difference between the evil that organizations do as collectives and the individual people who may be involved with those organizations and I think it's important for me to remember that distinction.
