In reply to the discussion: Does it hurt politicians who endorse a candidate who compared Biden to a BOWL-OF-SHIT? [View all]DemocraticPatriot
(5,410 posts)Not Fox, I misspoke about that, since I have never seen much of it... I meant right-wing radio, and there is little to choose between them.
If I "insulted you", it was based only upon your own speech. Perhaps you should re-examine it. You basically quoted talking points which have been repetitive on right-wing radio--- against giving "awards" to student athletes who didn't actually "win" contests, and aimed those same talking points, almost word-for-word, against a senator who caucuses with our party. ( i have listened to it extensively-- just to know what "the enemy" was saying.)
I might have lost my temper... when I read someone on this board quoting right-wing talking points that I have heard on right-wing radio, on this board, and aiming them against a senator who caucuses with our party.... that pisses me off, and I will not apologize for being pissed off about that.
"So, what you're saying is you agree with the facts and that you cannot refute the numbers and the record, and that creates anger that is directed at me? Charming."
I already admitted that the Sander's percentages are less than "ideal" in relation to "Biden positions" on these particular senate votes. However, as another poster informed us, it was a matter of 2 votes... No, this is not about that.
I really don't give a damn that Sanders is "2 votes less" in support of Biden positions on votes in the senate than the "least loyal" Democratic party senator..... "statistically". I asked you to offer evidence of Sanders' votes that were particularly "wrong" for the Democratic party, and you offered nothing. Instead, you made a dialogue that I have heard on right-wing AM radio.... about how the "less than perfect" athletes should receive no honors for participating, as an attack against Sanders. I don't care much about your attack on Sanders... but using right-wing tropes to do it goes way over the line.
Maybe you did not realize the sources of what you were quoting?
I give you the "benefit of the doubt" on that, for the moment.
