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)"I don't think his (Obama's) wrongful associations are any less objectionable than Sanders giving credence to this bigoted university."
And again. I don't post every time I have an objection and I'm not going to take your guff for failing to post on that one. Like I've said to you, it's not as if YOU post on everything that's objectionable to MY community, but you don't see me holding you to your ridiculous standard. You put Obama out there like I never criticized him. That's some bullshit right there. I've slammed him numerous times and was NOT a supporter of his in the primary campaign his first time around.
FFS, you're wasting my time. I think Sanders is wrong here. I'm still waiting for you to say the same, especially since you appear to be equating Obama's actions with this.
And by the way, I'm not going to forget that you attempted to slur me by referring to me as 'straight man' as if I have something to be ashamed of. Is this the standard of discourse that you'd like to see ME engage in with YOU?
I've yet to see you reach out to my community as much as I've attempted to support and advocate for yours, and I've gotten more than my share of guff from you for making the effort. I think I've taken it pretty well and have not tried to return the deed by jumping on your posts to castigate you for one thing or the other. Still you want to make like it's my problem? Check yourself. This is far too personal a response from you for my expressing my opinion here. I don't feel a bit of hypocrisy in making these criticisms. I've been a consistent advocate for LGBT rights, black lives, and other social concerns here. I certainly don't deserve you tagging onto my posts like I was some enemy to your own concerns. Yes, I'm a heterosexual man, and I can be insensitive and negligent in making every effort to be sensitive and attentive to others who may hold a different life experience than my own. But, I'm certainly open to care enough to make an effort at advocacy and I certainly am sensitive enough to these issues related to sexual orientation, gender, race and the rest to speak out when I feel I can and should. I don't demand perfect fealty to my own personal concerns, and I appreciate the effort folks here make in that regard. You won't find me castigating people here for failing to respond to each and every instance where I feel my personal issues have been aggrieved, and I expect the same consideration.
Now I've given you far more time and consideration than I think you've given me, and I'm done with this morality test of yours. Have your say, but I'm done responding to you on this thread.
