The "cult of personality" thing isn't the exclusive province of the right... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #1

I'm sure you aren't referring to fellow DUers when you make that thinly veiled accusation, right? nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #2

Read into it what you like... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #6

Yep, it stands as an attempt to make a broad brushed attack on a large segment of the DU community stevenleser Jul 2013 #16

That's your interpretation of what I said... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #18

RC seems to agree down below. It's not thinly veiled. And as I said, I was being generous. stevenleser Jul 2013 #22

No, I'm simply turning your ill-thought-out words back towards you. Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #25

You forgot to add a wink and 'You betcha" to the end of your post Sarah. nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #26

There we go! THAT is a personal attack! Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #33

LOL. Yep it was. On Sarah Palin, and on anyone who might emulate her. Are you saying that's you? stevenleser Jul 2013 #37

No, it was a defacto PA on me - a weak attempt to equate me to Palin... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #43

LOL, you dont even see how I have trapped you in a massive hypocrisy here! nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #44

Thinly veiled? RC Jul 2013 #12

I was being generous and offering them a way out of what ostensibly would be a hide-worthy act. nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #17

Truth and facts are hide worthy? RC Jul 2013 #19

No facts are being offered, only personal attacks based on emotion and personal animus. nt stevenleser Jul 2013 #24

Please alert on my post if you feel a "personal attack" has taken place. Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #30

Hmm... I'm not sure if you've noticed... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #28

This is your way of asserting you aren't making broad brushed attacks based on personal animus? stevenleser Jul 2013 #35

Another PA! *snarf* I merely suggested you inventory the Greatest Page... Cooley Hurd Jul 2013 #39

That's what I thought. At least RC above has the intellectual honesty and courage to try and back up stevenleser Jul 2013 #52
