Re: Beet

Last I checked, saying "the left" as a whole wants to press buttons to kill all straight white people is an insane level of generalizing and accusing a massive group of people of wanting something that probably only a small slice would actually say. Gross hyperbole if you ask me.

Also, I can't help but feel like you're actually picking fights as part of your new persona, trying to burnish your newly-found partisan conservative credentials by picking at issues every place you can. In this case, that reddit person isn't Rep. Lewis and not a politician either, right? So why are you using absurd statements from random people to balk at lefties on here?

Deleted for trolling and gross hyperbole. I'm going to be diligent and generous in moderating your posts on the election boards, Beet.

Now it's down to the "no true Scotsman" fallacy? I posted a screenshot from a major left-wing online community with over 2,700 votes in favor of that specific post. I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of liberals for strong policing language from the right while engaging in the same thing themselves. This is not a part of some "persona", it's a real problem I have with modern day leftism, and yes it's one reason I changed avatars. You're getting the casuality reversed.

[Virginiá]

Oh right, because 2,700 is representative of tens of millions of people. You can keep bloviating about your party switch all you want, because I don't believe you are sincere. I'm going to see how long you stick with this.

The fact is, this kind of language is tolerated on the left, which the Sarah Jeong New York Times incident also showed. A newspaper with 3 million subscribers now has an Editorial Board member with the same language. That's more people than will vote in Min-02 for Lewis. You want him to be, essentially, disqualified for Congress for what he said, but the same language is accepted on your side. That's called hypocrisy.

You can’t seriously believe that every NYT subscriber agrees with the views of one editorial board member

And not every Jason Lewis voter will agree with all of his radio show comments either.

Beet, I'll be honest, I don't wish to discuss this topic anymore with you or really anyone. I already posted my thoughts in the original thread, with the gist being that I think she's an asshole but I also agree there are different dynamics at play as well. If you're going to paint me with that broad brush though, I suggest you pack it up because you probably don't know much at all about me.

However, just because you have a bone to pick about this doesn't mean you get to turn every thread about racist politicians into a "LOL LOOK AT HYPOCRISY" or whatever discussion. If you want to discuss that woman's comments further, I suggest you take it to another thread.

Who voted to make Sarah whoever a NYT columnist? Also, I'm pretty sure a politician should be held to a higher standard than a newspaper columnist.

[BundouYMB]

I hope you all realize that this is why Beet changed persona. His old one stopped getting a reaction. You shouldn't reward him with attention.

[Devout Centrist]

The fact that beet has been allowed, perhaps even encouraged, to post his ramblings over the course of years is awful
