(4,211 posts)You're defending someone who's third way. You came to their defense. Very clearly one could easily make the argument that you're defending the third way. I opened the door a smidge and said it was possible you were not...not that you did not. As for the subhuman comment, I'll gladly come out and say I strongly disagree with that term being used on anyone.
That said, you're not excused from hypocrisy. A person asked you multiple times to cease your derogatory name calling. It wasn't an onerous request. You could have made your point without resorting to name calling... I might have even chipped in an agreement... in fact, the only reason we're having this conversation is you chose to be hypocritical instead of taking the higher road.
"I have absolutely no idea how you think this conversation makes you look good. Your loud, clear, UNEQUIVOCAL defense of that person calling an activist "subhuman" because she said or did something mean to Bernie Sanders has said every thing that needs to be said about you. An intelligent person would have realized that and stopped by now." - The only thing loud and clear from me, is my UNEQUIVOCAL defense of that person's call for civility. To quote you: An intelligent person would have realized that and stopped by now.
