(14,255 posts)that conservatives have always been trying to push. In their pointy little heads, they believe that all liberals care about is hating people with lots of money. So they are either dumbfounded or deliberately feigning puzzlement when liberals fail to condemn another liberal for having or making money.
I have seen conservatives on other boards fling out the fact that Al has money sneeringly, as if we liberals are supposed to condemn him. It is one of their many mental blocks, carefully planted, that they think liberals believe all rich people are bad. That notion rallies them, and sort of comforts them, because then they can screech class warfare to their minions.
It is what people do to GET their money is the problem - did Al put lots of workers out of a job in order to earn more money? They will do that, even if it is just for one quarter. Does Al deliberately pollute our food, our air, our water, our land, in order to squeeze a few extra dimes out of manufacturing costs?
Whether deliberate (because it feeds the freeper types) or not, conservatives feel it is all about amassing money, which of course results in poor people, for them, and they are just trying to drive another wedge between liberals and liberals with money.
Reading this thread, evidently it is not working.
