90. I mentioned Coe specifically because I know I've

read articles in which his admiration for such was specifically mentioned. I'm pretty sure I've seen that same admiration ascribed to more than just the leader, but since I wasn't absolutely certain, I hedged by mentioning him specifically.

But I would bet that he's not alone in such admiration, since most of the members of the Family are hard core right wing authoritarian theocrat types.

There are a lot of members of The Family. So yeah, I'm pretty sure you could say 'they' and refer to many, or even most of them without having specifically noted that any one regular member (such as Hillary) holds those views.

So if you want to nitpick like that, you're actually only nitpicking my specifically mentioning Coe, not the OP's use of broader brush to describe the group while allowing for the possibility that there are a few members who might disagree specifically with that admiration (while still agreeing with the Dominionist goals of the group.)

if she really feels that way why would she come on a board that supports Democrats JI7 Jun 2014 #2

Because "support" is not "worship". jeff47 Jun 2014 #5

the stuff she posted about hitler isn't what i would consider just questioning JI7 Jun 2014 #6

Well, it's technically factual. jeff47 Jun 2014 #9

so did she post it because she thinks Hillary is like Hitler ? JI7 Jun 2014 #10

I have no idea what she things. I'm not in her head. jeff47 Jun 2014 #11

Questioning is one thing but that thread treestar Jun 2014 #84

Whether or not it was greatly depends on your opinion of Clinton jeff47 Jun 2014 #96

Because she's a Democrat who doesn't think the presidency is something anyone has a 'right' to. sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #128

yet you just claimed how everythign is corrupt in another thread , seriously, if i felt that way i JI7 Jun 2014 #129

Post a link to where I said 'everything is corrupt'. Thank you! n/t sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #132

where you claimed people were prevented from voting for feingold JI7 Jun 2014 #133

You mean where I stated a fact. That money controls politics in this country. Ever hear of sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #134

so why doesn't it help republicans get black, hispanic, gay votes ? JI7 Jun 2014 #136

It helps Republicans get the votes they need. As someone pointed out earlier very correctly, sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #138

Feingold eliminated himself by support Obama and Hillary instead of running JI7 Jun 2014 #139

Do you need an explanation regarding why Repubs don't get minority votes? sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #143

Romney lost the election, if it was just about money California would be dominated by Republicans JI7 Jun 2014 #147

Sigh. You just don't get it, it seems. Who cares if Ca is dominated by Dems, what are they DOING sabrina 1 Jun 2014 #158

DU isn't really a place for activism JI7 Jun 2014 #18

There are some pretty good local groups, but it's a shame that the internet isn't really being used Chathamization Jun 2014 #141

you just need to work at it, if you find it difficult at the local level JI7 Jun 2014 #145

A national organization can be useful at the local level though. For instance, when I was working Chathamization Jun 2014 #151

but not everyone follows those groups JI7 Jun 2014 #160

That's somewhat odd reasoning. Of course you won't reach everyone in any particular group, just as Chathamization Jun 2014 #162

you can paticipate, volunteer, join whatever you want JI7 Jun 2014 #163

And my point, as I said, is "it's a shame that the internet isn't really being used for organizing Chathamization Jun 2014 #167

the internet is used in that way, you can go to websites for certain causes, candidates JI7 Jun 2014 #168
