Good, concise post. HuckleB Jul 2014 #29

No argument here. HuckleB Jul 2014 #35

The problem with that is you negate everything else he has done when you do that. cui bono Jul 2014 #45

Actually, RFK, Jr. is the one negating other work he did that might be valuable. HuckleB Jul 2014 #47

That's a shame, but it does not negate his other work. To dismiss it because of this is to abandon cui bono Jul 2014 #49

However, it one does not question his other stances, it would be unwise. HuckleB Jul 2014 #50

But that's not what you are doing. You said "no argument here" to calling him an "asshat". cui bono Jul 2014 #56

He made his bed, and you don't appear to want to recognize that. HuckleB Jul 2014 #57

Like I said, it's a shame, but that does not discount what he has done for the environment. cui bono Jul 2014 #59

I'm not the one justifying anything. HuckleB Jul 2014 #60
