125. "First, you were upset about boycott tactics in general."
Edited on Mon Nov-24-08 03:14 PM by galaxy21
I was never against the boycott tactics, people just jumped on that after I said I didn't think they would work and I questioned the comparision between the black civil rights battle of the sixties to what's happening now.


"Then it was some made-up "threats" and "indimidation"."


Which was part of the article. And what I was objecting to. The man wasn't being boycotted, he didn't give money to then (or at least, not that it was mentionedm but he was a supporter)

"Then it was your fear that it would lead to backlash against minorities."

That was covered in my first post when I question the tactics and whether they would aliente voters.


"Now your wanting us to be upset with Obama."

I'm questioning why everyone is so eager to blame outside forces, when a lot of the blame lies with people in our own party. Of course its difficult to pass gay marrriages laws, no one in the democratic party has the balls to piss off the rednecks.


"I sense a pattern here . . . "

Check my history. I've been here for almost a year.
