A joke must be based on truth to be funny. Yours wasn't. The idea that Democrats are some sort of cult of "The Party Is Always Right" is ... I don't even know what that is. Why not compare the Democratic Party to North Korea while you're at it? Oh well, mission accomplished, right? Tomorrow is another day!

So glad you agree BainsBane Sep 2017 #1

He did. sheshe2 Sep 2017 #5

I have never said the guy was infallible. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #6

Apology taken, but I'd feel better if I knew you understood WHY it was so inappropriate. Hortensis Sep 2017 #3

It was offensive because I made it sound like it I was comparing this party Ken Burch Sep 2017 #11

Thanks. I appreciate that and hope others read it. Hortensis Sep 2017 #15

Thanks. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #19

You do realize that this doesn't actually help your case, right? NurseJackie Sep 2017 #4

It's enough to say I caused offense and shouldn't have posted it. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #7

Not really, it's a variation of the classic non-apology... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #8

I agreed that I had caused offence. That is taking responsibility. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #9

The orginal original self-serving non-apology still stands, I see. But... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #10

Enough with the wave smilie. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #13

LOL! Of all the things to be upset about... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #21

Because you do that over and over again and nobody deserves from you. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #23

LOL! Nobody deserves a friendly wave emoji? NurseJackie Sep 2017 #25

It's not friendly. It's dismissive. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #26

I have no idea what you're talking about. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #27

Of course you do melman Sep 2017 #87

Your "hi" smiley is like the time Stalin starved the Ukraine Orrex Sep 2017 #96

I've never done an anti-Democratic Party tirade in my life. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #17

Well with that atrocious flame post, you have at least once. I won't refresh your memory further. nt FreepFryer Sep 2017 #18

In all our years here, I've never quite gotten a handle on your direction, just that UTUSN Sep 2017 #20

I honestly don't know why you're tolerated here. Codeine Sep 2017 #22

What is it about me you find so intolerable? Ken Burch Sep 2017 #24

... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #28

In the middle of the 2018 election when he starts his own anti-Democratic party website to complain FSogol Sep 2017 #29

You know perfectly that I would never do that. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #38

If you silence JustAnotherGen Sep 2017 #39

Same if you silence me or if someone silences you. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #40

"...in the middle of an election." Interesting qualifier. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #46

I used that phrase because Sogol accused me of that. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #57

Yeah. Uh-huh. Sure. Right. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #58

It's not all about you Ken JustAnotherGen Sep 2017 #49

Didn't say it was. Anyone who calls for change here gets treated like that. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #60

By now, if you are truly sincere and want democrats to win, no matter what Eliot Rosewater Sep 2017 #51

+1 Well said. n/t FSogol Sep 2017 #52

this!! heaven05 Sep 2017 #55

I support Democrats against Republicans in the fall. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #75

You say all that, you have said it many times, and while I believe you I also Eliot Rosewater Sep 2017 #76

I AM a Democratic Party supporter, just as much as they are. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #79

We *are* trying to tell him something. He just won't listen. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #94

So posting a video that compares the party to that of EGS.... Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #36

I wasn't meaning to make that comparison. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #37

I addressed your own comparison. Your own. Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #44

Thank you. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #45

Yes. And I don't. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #63

Yes, you do. Regularly. Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #66

I said one thing about her one time. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #70

"I said one thing about her one time." Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #74

I hadn't even mentioned her in over a year, or whenever that was from. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #77

You have now completely changed what you said before. Weekend Warrior Sep 2017 #78

You make it sound like I had it in for her. I never did. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #80

Apology not accepted. betsuni Sep 2017 #41

I admitted I shouldn't have posted it. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #61

At long last, and barely. After much prodding and THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #62

My original said that. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #65

The original wasn't a real apology. It was making excuses and blaming others... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #67

I've made enough of an apology. I said I was wrong. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #69

I must say... your FOURTH version (from 5 minutes ago) is the best one yet. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #72

I never negotiated. You harassed me because you always harass me. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #81

I do no such thing, and you know it. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #83

OK...what do you THINK I'm doing? What horrible agenda do you believe I have? Ken Burch Sep 2017 #84

See? Exaggerating again. (Please stop.) NurseJackie Sep 2017 #89

You said in the post above that you felt you had to stop me getting away with things. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #90

Asked and answered. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #91

What was the context? I think the way people argue here about not criticizing dems IS problematic. JCanete Sep 2017 #59

Who posited the sentiment that the party is always right? LanternWaste Sep 2017 #73

I don't want to revisit it in the thread. I'll pm you. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #82

Lol. Somehow your bashings of Democrats always get lots and lots of attention. Squinch Sep 2017 #85

I don't bash Democrats. Ken Burch Sep 2017 #86

You know, I've taken to just checking in here a couple of times a week Starry Messenger Sep 2017 #88

Nonsense. It's obviously *seven* pounds. Orrex Sep 2017 #98
