In reply to the discussion: How long are we gonna chase the Alabama creep squirrel story...we play right into GOP's plan [View all]mreilly
(2,120 posts)51. Excellent points...
... I've run afoul of what I would term the "overly PC" types here on DU who, as someone else described (and I paraphrase) fall over themselves to prove they're more liberal than anyone else.
On one memorable occasion I posted a criticism of people who insist on backing into parking spaces even though they're terrible at doing so, and it takes 2-3 tries of pulling forward, rolling back, adjusting the wheel, etc. as meanwhile everyone else is inconvenienced because the driver has to get their car "just so" and too bad if you have to wait.
I was called intolerant, impatient, overly reactive; it was insinuated I was a jerk, not the rude driver; I needed to "calm down and take a deep breath" and so on and so forth.

A Senate election that could be winnable is BFD! Child rape normalization is a BFD.
