(45,319 posts)the fact that you approach an issue about bigotry and baiting of minorities by officials in this Party by using faked quotes and inaccurate reporting is dismissive of that very important issue. I get it Dan, you are Straight and White and Male and you don't see anything wrong with salaried Party workers baiting minorities to their bigoted 'peeps' but that is a corrupt and horrible thing. That guy, Brad and the office he worked in openly engaged in bigoted tactics. While cashing checks from the Party.
'Hey, I know some bigots who hate this minority, let's go tell them about this candidate and how he's so gay!!!' It's not acceptable. No wonder you can't manage to look it in the eye and call it by its name. But you need to. If you can't reject that level of bigotry and baiting then what's the point? That's what Trump does, seeks out bigots and baits them with rhetoric about minorities. DU criticizes him for that all day,every day. Brad did the same thing, and you want to wave it away. That's hypocrisy. Glaring hypocrisy.
I get it. If you admit what was done you have to defend it or reject it and so you dance. It's not very appealing, that avoidance of such a very definitive issue.
