>>VA>>Let me lay it out for you one last time:
>>VA>>1. Racism is bad
>>VA>>2. Racists should not be elected officials.
I've asked several times here what a racist is and no one has answered.
I purposely sought out a white, catholic woman to be my wife.
My wife did the same when choosing a man.
That means we intentionally discriminated against all the other races and religions in the world.
Think of all the Tibetan Buddhists we slighted!

Does that make me and the roughly ten billion people in the world who behave that way racists?




>>VA>>3. Prejudices against homosexuals is bad.
>>VA>>4. Prejudicial people should not be elected officials.

Is prejudice FOR homosexuals good?
Is a man who chooses a man over all the billions of women in the world a misogynist?

>>VA>>5. Sexual predators are bad.
>>VA>>6. Sexual predators should not be elected officials.

I don't know what a sexual predator is.
Never met one or saw one in action.

>>VA>>7. If you don't understand of believe 1 though 6 then you are either stupid and/or a bigot of some sort. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with winning or loosing an election or the DNC or anything else --- that is my point.

>>I don't want to belabor the obvious, but many would find this domineering diction offensive and derogatory. It's outrageous to pretend people might disagree with those truisms and it's a totally transparent vehicle for the name calling that follows. No doubt it can be loudly protested that it's only true if people don't "understand of believe" the list- but it's a personal attack to even suggest anytbody here might not understand or agree with such a list. There's nothing new or clever about this sort of tactic that is intended to put somebody on the defensive rather than responding to their point. As a debating style it's absolutely disgraceful, but it collapses if the target remains calm and insists on arguing the point, not the man.

>So - as I said, you're completely misstating what I said - and you know it. I have not called you or anyone else on this forum names and you are proving my point here. If you take offense to me calling a racist a racist or a sexual predator bad then that's your problem not mine.
