OK, I never equated anything to bigotry or hatred of any kind. It’s just that almost all conservative humor is very heavy-handed, and there’s never anything funny about that. Oliver Willis got it exactly right.

As for the rest, your analogy would be more appropriate if Gary Cooper were going off to fight other, unrelated murderers while the first pack of them were able to formulate a plot to go attack the town. Which is actually a darkly funny concept in and of itself.
