31. As bad as using segregationists to make a point?

It seems you have to be careful exactly what analogies you use? This is anti-intellectualism.

This is not a gaffe - this is people being scared to even think or imagine things to get to an understanding of an idea.

It's more frightening than getting a detail wrong. What do you think that Biden meant he wants Obama assassinated? You can't deal with any such suggestion? Good thing the Secret Service doesn't shy away from the threat.

Obama even hired Hillary after she did it, when she was going against him! I mean what she said was clearly had to have meant to say she could still win if only Obama were assassinated. But Obama is able to get what she meant. Being so educated and intellectual and all.

I hope you also prohibit Holocaust analogies. Trump hasn't opened an official concentration camp yet. Or has he? We can't compare it until it is exact, right?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
