16. That thread was dishonest in the extreme and you were rude as shit to those who called you out on

it. You edited Bernie's statement and argued with the portion you left intact. You, you mentioned Hillary in the OP yet when others mentioned her in return you called them 'passive aggressive'. You introduced her as subject of discussion then attacked people for discussing her. It was a display of ego and mendacity rarely seen on DU.

People such as yourself seem to have so many political allies you can burn some of them to the ground. But when you do that, you are destroying allies of others who do not have friends to spare.

Some of us have to contend with 'support' like this, here is you defending Rick Warren in a thread in which Will Pitt crafted excuses for Warren:

64. I don't believe the prayers themselves will be any kind of an imposition

There's no requirement that you listen, or any mandate that the words are heeded or adhered to by the President or the Vice-President.

I suspect that most folks welcome the accompaniment of the prayers in the ceremony, aside from whatever feelings they may have about the ones delivering them.

So my advice is if you don't like what you hear, there is no requirement that you listen. That's what you told gay people when you supported subjecting us to a hate preacher to please Obama.
