29. All I'm saying is you're wrong to say Kagan and Sotomayor are the same as a Repuke appointee.

If you want to keep saying it, that is of course you're right and I am not telling you to shut up. And you should not try to shut me up by accusing me of not supporting LGBT rights. For me to point out that you are wrong about Kagan does not mean I do not support LGBT rights. I do. Everyone here at DU supports LGBT rights. We also support the Democratic Party, hence the name of the site.

Arguing that Kagan and Sotomayor are the same as any potential McCain appointee is wrong IMO and plays into the Repuke strategy to convince voters that it's all the same so why bother voting.
