General Discussion

When someone picks a still-healing scab and pours salt into the wound, others are going to shout "OUCH!" and "STOP IT!"

Only ONE is to blame for the shitty and insulting OP ... and it's certainly not the people who are justifiably offended and angry at the insults and smear, and who are standing up for our party, for our President and Vice President and for our party's nominees.

You say that "the negative reactions to it serve little purpose" and I'll have to disagree with you. The fact of the matter is that the "negative reactions" you find to be disagreeable and harmful actually serve the purpose of setting the record straight. Rather than sitting quietly and politely allowing others to rewrite history, or to wrongly blame Democrats and characterize Democrats as fearful and feckless and indecisive, we choose to speak up.
