Defending Assange against sexual assault allegations

[Zorra]

337. Describing someone as authoritarian who almost always supports, and who rarely or never

questions authority, and unreservedly defend the authorities they support even when they do something utterly heinous, is not name calling. It is simply labeling accurately.

Just as describing someone who frequently questions authority, or who exposes wrongdoing, as non-authoritarian, is not name calling.

Toady could be used interchangeably with sycophant, and could also be an accurate descriptor.

However, equating people who are clearly left wing with right wing individuals lke Jones or Paul, and RW organizations like the teabaggers, is definitely name calling, because it is total bullshit used to try to smear someone by identifying them with something negative that clearly has no relationship to who they are, what they do, or what they believe in.

It would be like me calling you a Trotskyite, or a communist, when that is apparently something close to the opposite of who, and what you are, judging from your past posts.

In fact, just like you apparently do, the majority of Freepers and other extreme RWers, Rush Limbaugh, for example, almost universally wish to see Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and Chelsea Manning imprisoned for the rest of their lives for exposing the heinous criminal acts of the Military Industrial Complex. I could post examples, but I'm quite sure you already know that this is true, so it would be a waste of time. And you could google it yourself, if you wish.


So it's hard to understand why you would be trying to equate us hard core anti-authoritarian lefties with extreme RWers like teabaggers, Rand and Ron Paul, and Alex Jones, when your own views on the subject of anti-authoritarian whistle blowers are so similar to the vast majority of RWers.

Yeh, so a very, very few RWers, like all lefties, believe that exposing wrongdoing by authorities is ethical, and healthy for democracy. But the majority of RWers, from teabaggers to Third Way DLC pseudo-Democrats, believe that exposing wrongdoing by authorities is a crime of the utmost serious nature. Indeed, RWers generally hate whistleblowers with a passion for exposing wrongdoing by authorities.

Just like you apparently do, judging from your past posts.
