Hedge Fund Titans Choosing Hillary Clinton Over Top Republicans

[Egnever]

272. Right, more sanctimonious lecturing

I expected no less.

My involvement in this thread came because of your insistence that "This kind of crap makes DU suck shit!!!!". Implying it is the words that could be taken as offensive that makes this place "suck shit"

My response is no it's the lame ass pontification from people pretending they are standing up for the virtue of the oppressed!

Some folks are offended by the word shit. I suppose you are contributing of the suckage of DU because you used that word. My opinion is we all have different tolerances for words. In my opinion words have the power you give them. Obviously people shouldn't go out of there way to be offensive but society is pretty good at finding those limits.

As was pointed out by many you can find countless examples of people being called whores here for a wide variety of reasons but this time it has special gender meaning because it was in reference to Hillary.

Spare me.

I took a look at some DU history and this exchange between you and another poster . In that exchange it looks like you are so bothered by it you don't even want it discussed

What really makes that exchange interesting is in that thread you tell the poster you are responding to they cant bring meta into that thread and then here you are in the reverse situation where you do it and defend it. (Both relating to the W word)

The only reason I post those examples is because I think it points to precisely what I am saying and that is it isn't the words that are making du "suck shit" it's the constant hypocrisy and eagerness to point fingers at other posters and ascribe them to being sexist/misogynistic/racially/etc.. motivated based on differences of opinions on the offensiveness of a particular thing. I find it to be a lazy short cut to attempting to win a discussion.

Day after day its some other outrage here and it's starting to become farcical. X is so so mean followed by 20 kicks Yea!

This seems to be a hot button word for you so I will let you define your own outrage and will just have to disagree that the comment made about Hillary was an intentional dog whistle instead of a description of her practices when dealing with corporate overlords. I dont think it was an apt description as there is a lot of nuance in her positions and I find it very difficult to pin her down on just about anything forget the tangled web of politics and money.

Que more, it doesn't belong here unless it's the bad guy I approve of using the word for outrage.
