(62,325 posts)What a strange thing to say, as if slamming DUers is more important than the story itself.
I thoroughly support Liberals' propensity to not jump the gun on someone when they have no idea whether they are guilty or not.
And I hope those DUers will continue to always give the benefit of the doubt to people who are merely 'accused'. Knee jerk reactions of 'guilt' as soon as an accusation is made, is what people should be apologetic for, since those reactions cause HARM, while the other reaction causes NO HARM. And as we've seen so often in this country, many innocent people have been the victims of those always willing to jump on the 'guilty' bandwagon, before there is a shred of evidence of guilt presented.
I would prefer to err on the side innocent until proven guilty because of the terrible results of doing the opposite for so many innocent people.
Such a strange comment considering the OP. If you so despise DUers who are unwilling to 'convict' without evidence, why come here at all? I think you will see that again and again here. We are not reactionary, right wingers willing to convict based on flimsy evidence at best. And maybe we are not blessed with noses that 'smell' things before any evidence, for which I am grateful.
