In reply to the discussion: MoveOn has a perfect response to Netroots controversy: [View all]Roy Rolling
(6,911 posts)"...Saying that all lives matter or white lives matter immediately after saying Black lives matter ..." Response to that statement?
MoveOn's pitiful attempt itself to be all things to all people but stand for nothing, is precisely what it is ranting against.
But to be a good response, there has to be a preceding proclamation. And I don't think all Democrats said what was characterized in the quote above. It is a straw man argument to say all Democrats don't understand the distinction between "black lives matter" and "all lives matter", especially since the origin of "all lives matter" is specifically to diminish the import of "black lives matter".
So spare us the sanctimonious ass-kissing, MoveOn. And stop setting up speech requirements for people to pledge allegiance to your causes, and attempt to define candidates by your specific parameters.
But to be sure, I'm gonna watch to the entire exchange. If I'm wrong, then, uh....never mind.
