Leftist lecturing

We're frequently lectured by folx on the left about things like tolerance, acceptance, morality, non-violence, and other virtues they proudly proclaim.

Yet when a virtual lynch mob of social media, advocates harm (I believe that physical violence and death fall under the broad category of harm), to a teenage boy based on "fake news", I hear very little in the way of condemnation or concern.

Beyond that, what system of morality would condone (by silence or otherwise) the offering of sexual favors to anyone who would physically attack another person?

It's also interesting that the sexual favors offered only apply to men, where is the outrage at the homophobia and sexism displayed by the woman making the offer.

Hypocrisy is alive and well among the American political left.

Cite ONE LEGITIMATE representative of a Left leaning speaker/writer who supports any of this nonsense. You can't do it. Like Stan, you're relying upon nonsensical straw men arguments rather than data and reality.

Don't be an idiot. Retract your stupid ass claim, admit that it's not anything you can support or just be an embarrassment to yourself and your side.

But seriously, Craig, when did you become such an irrational little shill for nonsense, lies and slander?

I just read that social media was outraged at a news outlet that interviewed the kid in a less than hostile way. Apparently (I'm not making this up) he needed to be chastised and demeaned simply because was a white male wearing a MAGA hat (which by definition makes him racist). They are a hateful group when they want to be.

Dan Trabue said...

As to the MAGA hats, one day, you all may recognize that for many people - especially traditional "minorities" - the MAGA hat is becoming equivalent to the KKK Hood. Yes, they are both just articles of clothing, but those clothing have a context and you all probably recognize the great horror at a white man wearing a hood (hopefully). You are just blinded by your white privilege in seeing how the MAGA hat is comparable (not the same, not to the same degree, but comparable, nonetheless).

You would think that, if for no other reason you don't want to make yourselves out to be racist-supporting white apologists of reprehensible evil behaviors, you'd try to understand.

But it's easier to deny and deny, defend the racists and the rapists and white supremacists.

Your time has come. Open your eyes.

Craig said...

Dan, I’m curious what claim you’re talking about? I’m also curious why my claims come under more demands for support than yours. I’ll be shocked if I get an answer. But your silence as kids get libeled, slandered, and threatened is not unexpected.

Craig said...

Dan,

The question for you is...

Can you directly, specifically, and unequivocally condemn someone offering sexual favors in exchange for violence against an innocent person as being immoral?

Craig said...

I’ve allowed this most recent bit of idiocy through moderation as an example.

I’ll point out the fact that the klan hat has decades of verifiable, real examples of actual violence based on race. The MAGA hat has no comparable track record. I’ve asked you multiple times for specific examples of the racism you keep prating about, but so far I’ve not seen any.

Also, as long as your compilation of hateful headwear doesn’t include the folx on your side of the aisle, why would any sane person take your rant seriously.

Craig said...

I’m going to ask nicely and respectfully that you please answer the question you’ve been asked regarding morality before you respond to anything else.

Thank you

“Immigration is for us a religious issue. It's what God wants and expects.... Immigration policy is clearly broken and must be fixed. So let's fix it, but with compassion. The Bible tells us again and again about the need to care for the stranger in our midst."


Oh, a prominent liberal christian leader advocating that the US make immigration policy on biblical principles.

I realize that Jim Wallis is pretty obscure and not followed very much at all. If you haven’t heard he’s with an organization called Sojourners, you might have to dig deep to find them, but they’re out there.

Dan Trabue said...

The question is NOT, Do you condemn people harming people? That answer has been given because I've never been unclear about my opposition to violence against innocent people, and that it is always wrong.

THAT is not the question.

The question is WHY are you unable to understand words and would opt to ask questions that are ignorant and slanderous and that anyone that has the brains of a brick would know the answer to? WHY do you keep running defense for the rapists and racists and atrocious oppressors?

THAT is the question. At least for rational, moral adults.

Craig said...

So, instead of simply answering the question that was asked, you feel like you can rephrase the question to suit yourself.

The reality is that fit some bizarre reason you can’t specifically condemn a woman offering sexual favors to men to motivate them to engage in violence against an innocent individual. I don’t understand why you choose to play these games, and probably never will.

I asked politely and respectfully, you chose not to answer, and ask a different question.

Thanks, that tells me plenty.

I'm really quite interested in why Dan has taken so boldly to playing the race card, when there is no evidence of racism inherent in anything Trump does, aside from accusations by others who hate him. Oh, yeah...because some racists support Trump, THAT means Trump is a racist who is intentionally seeking the support of other racists!! Right. By that notion, every Democrat/lefty/progressive who supports Planned Parenthood is actively seeking the support of baby killers everywhere.

To whatever extent "the MAGA hat is becoming equivalent to the KKK Hood" (as if it actually is), it is only in the minds of Trump-haters like Dan. And he's not at all ashamed of that slanderous position.

Craig said...

I’ve asked over and over for one concrete example of Trump enacting anything official that is demonstrably racist, or of him saying anything specifically racist. So far nothing.

Meanwhile the women’s march folx, who Dan has supported in the past are and support anti Semitic positions and people, Dan says nothing. Hillary makes racist and anti Semitic comments, silence. Calypso Louis gets his racist and anti Semitic ass hugged all over the DFL, and Dan says nothing. Louis has been more publicity laudatory of Hitler that Trump, but Dan says nothing.

Dan had the chance to clearly and specifically denounce the sexist bitch who offered sexual favors for violence, but he just can’t do it.

Last week was full of actual slander/libel and Dan remains silent.

I can’t and won’t comment on his apparent character, but his actions and silence speak loudly.
