REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

This person is equating the US evaluating whether to accept a misogynist or racist embassador from another country with the Dominican Republic allegedly considering refusing someone appointed US embassador to DR because they are gay. In other words

Homophobia = opposition to misogyny and racism. They are equally good reasons to refuse an embassador. If you understand what that implies, that is a really hateful and disgusting suggestion.

Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: false equivalence by poster, deserves a hide
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The alerter presents a strawman argument and fails.
