In reply to the discussion: Constantly referring to President Obama as a "used car salesman" is expected of a RW racist. [View all]DirkGently
(12,151 posts)Calling someone you disagree with a RW racist and then (and I cannot believe I am even typing this) PRETENDING that saying 'expected of a RW racist' keeps it somehow inbounds is a level of childishness that beggars belief.
It's the verbal equivalent of the kid in the backseat, having been told not to touch his brother, pointing a finger right in front of his face saying "I'm not touching you!"
Really? You guys think this is a winning approach?
THIS is the way real rightwing idiots think. "Oooh, but we didn't say WE wanted to hurt the President, we said 'SOMEONE SHOULD' do that. Har har har."
With the little smirk and the stupid guffaw to go with, of course.
Somehow a certain level of intellect has entirely lost track of the fact that others can actually SEE you acting in bad faith, and the fact that you get your friends to scream along with you doesn't create an argument that will convince anyone.
No one thinks racism or rightwingers has a single thing to do with whatever the post is that has a few unfortunate people in such an uproar. No one. Not the people saying it. Not the people defending it. Every single person reading any of this knows the OP is nothing but a cutesy, small-minded ploy of the weakest possible kind.
It's a level of discourse that is beneath a small child. Beneath anyone, but the most contemptible and thoughtless of internet poo-flingers.
Very sad to see on a liberal discussion board.
We are supposed to be smarter than this.
