In reply to the discussion: There's nothing redeeming or politically valid in Sanders speaking at Falwell's Liberty University [View all]bigtree
(93,297 posts)...and you seem to believe that heckling me for being a 'straight man' is acceptable discourse. Do you believe being gay gives you some special exception to labeling and slurs?
You seem to be under the misconception that I'm inclined to give Obama a pass for behavior I think is objectionable. I don't think his wrongful associations are any less objectionable than Sanders giving credence to this bigoted university. But, your little test that you can't measure up to - the criticize 'a' in a DU post before you can criticize 'b' - is an absurd demand. I'm not playing your little game.
Now I've had enough of your personal attacks. You obviously can't discuss this appearance on its merits, or are more interested in trying to label me as a hypocrite. I think its the latter, and I've had enough of it. You're out of line and way off base suggesting I have any hesitation at all criticizing Obama or any other politician when I believe they're wrong.
By the way, I criticized Jeb Bush on his appearance at the university and I have no qualms in criticizing ANY Democrat or any other political figure who cozies up to this university.
