(135,425 posts)At least one was hidden for racist language. Others, equally angry and uncivil, liberally using the "idiot" and "fuck" words, were not--and no, I have not alerted on any of them:

This is not "civil" conversation.
If you want to boot me out, go right ahead. I think you'd be advised to do a little research before you do, though--I'm not "the enemy" here.
Obama didn't pick that guy--some jerk on the Inaugural Committee did--and they picked him because he had a great human rights record on the surface. He was opposed to human trafficking/slavery. When they were advised of his past, they gave him a shove.
I don't know about you, but my first thought is that people who are pro-human rights on one level tend to take those views with them on all issues of human rights. This guy is apparently an exception. I can forgive the Inaugural Committee their mistake, because they corrected it. I can forgive a person for calling people names, too--but if I get the shove for noticing it, and mentioning it, so be it. I'll take a Groucho Marx attitude towards the whole misadventure.
