In reply to the discussion: Morally bankrupt? [View all]Spazito
(55,403 posts)26. Who are the "defenders" as opposed to the "supporters" in your mind...
The way I read the OP I cited in my post, there is NO differentiation in the OP between "defenders" and supporters. If the OP I cited was not referencing the Obama supporters as "defenders" then who are the "defenders"that were being called "morally corrupt and contemptible" in that OP?
There were no links included in the OP I cited that showed the intent was not toward Obama supporters but, rather, "defenders" from another forum, from articles, etc. ergo it seems to me the only thing left was Obama supporters were being labeled as "defenders" who are "morally corrupt and contemptible".
