36. What a perverse--and unfounded--accusation against other DUers

Sun Jan 4, 2015, 11:46 AM

Jan 2015

If you look around on here a bit, you'll find that the economic populists are quite unhappy about the institutionalized racism, police violence, and militarization stuff for which you find so much empirical evidence. In fact, Obama has taken a fair bit of heat for not prosecuting the biggest militarizers of the last administration, and believe me, it hasn't been from the BOG. So on top of being heinously insulting, you're shitting where you eat.

Fortunately, we're quite capable of having opinions on more than one topic at a time. Hopefully, you're intelligent enough to likewise do so--and not have to choose which single issue you're going to care about--and will come around to our, in fact, quite well considered and articulated position.

I'm trying really hard to be nice, but yours is seriously one of the most offensive posts I've ever seen on here.
