Absolutely. Rick Perry is a scumbag, but treating him less than equal in the eyes of the law, or going straight to outright atrocities against him and those like him, invites (at the least) proportionate retribution in the instance that people who think like him achieve power in the future.
I don't think it's necessary to be proactive against the likes of a guy like Rick Perry. Time is not on the side of the regressives.
