In reply to the discussion: NOW It IS About Snowden. [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)...as in "Response to bvar22" in a sub-thread addressing specific content in the particular post of a specific individual,
the "YOU" is NEVER Generic. It is specific and targeted,
and THAT is basic English Grammar.

If your intent is "Generic", use the 3rd Person ( "they" or "them"
and not "You" in a direct response to an individual.
I'll make it easy for you:
When anyone responds to a specific individual with this:
"Are YOU talking to ME"?
there is NO doubt about the
"you" that person is addressing.
If the individual is speaking generically,
they say,
"Were THEY talking to me?,
again, there is NO doubt about the persons being referenced.
At least you are honest about Who and What you are,
and in the tradition of great Conservatives everywhere like the Swiftboaters, Brietbart, and The Birthers, you have no personal moral prohibitions about simply [font size=3]Making Stuff Up and using it to attack Loyal Democrats[/font]
AND, when you are called out, start dodging, equivocating, hiding, and squealing "Thats not what I meant.
I will accept that as a retraction, though if you have any integrity at all, you will go amend your post, and change the improper use of the pronoun "You" to the 3rd person generic, "they", or "them".
But NO. You couldn't stop with a simple retraction for your mistakes,
you run blindly ahead with more Unsubstantiated Fantasy about me being an "Obama hater".
[font size=3]It is NOT "hate" to expect the very best representation for the Working Class from our elected Democrats,
and to call them out when they fall short of the Traditional Democratic Party Values that made our Party GREAT. That is not "hate", but True LOVE,[/font]
and I do LOVE the Democratic Party, and THAT is also documented in the archives at DU.
I absolutely DENY that I am a "hater".
Do you really believe that labeling an elected official a "Corporatist" can be classified as "Hate Speech"?
LOL...(And you call yourself a member of the Reality Based Community.)
I resent that YOU or ANY legitimate member of DU would use that vile, slanderous, disgusting, Hate Language language to attack me, or any other Democrat on DU.
I AM one of the Democratic Party's hardest working activists,
and am doing everything I can to SAVE the Party, not hurt it.
I am PROUD of my STAND for the traditional Democratic party Values that built the largest, wealthiest, and most Upwardly Mobile Working Class the World has ever seen.
THAT is also documented in the archives at DU with text and photographs.
The words you have quoted above are FAR from a documentation of "hate",
but are words of disappointment and political difference ON ISSUES.
YOU are the one using unfounded, unsupported, emotionally charged Hate Language in personal attacks on loyal Democrats.
The claims you are making are vile, slanderous, ignorant, and completely untrue.
It is not an "opinion" to outright call someone a "hater".
It IS a direct personal attack.

I take this seriously.
You SHOULD take it seriously.
Our Community at DU should take it seriously too.
I CHALLENGE YOU to find a singe post of mine where I have attacked President Obama or his family personally, or used emotionally charged "hate" language against HIM or ANY elected Democrat (or Republican for that matter).
You will be unable to do so, and you KNOW it,
so have been forced into re-committing the SAME offense that you did above.
In the very Conservative, very Rural, very Backward, area of the Old South where my wife & I moved in 2006,
doing something like this...

...IS putting your life and property at risk.
---bvar22 & Starkraven
turning the South Blue one voter at a time.
Yes, that IS our home, and that is also documented on DU,
and I'll BET that My Wife & I convinced a much greater percentage of lifelong Republicans in our rural precinct to change their vote and give the Democrats a chance in 2008
than YOU have in your entire life.
[font size=4]I AM Calling YOU out for attacking good, loyal Democrats with disgusting, vile, fabricated, Hate Language.
[/font]
YOU have "Hated On" more Democrats in the last couple of days
than I have in 12 years at DU.
WORD!
