‘Sully’ Sullenberger responds to Lara Trump mocking Joe Biden’s stutter

[The Barbarian]

Biden was dismissive of a woman?

Of a spiteful person. Apparently gender doesn't matter much for him in that context. Sully agrees, it seems:
“Stop. Grow up. Show some decency. People who can’t have no place in public life,” Sullenberger wrote. (to Trump)

That doesn't sound like Biden.

If you think so, you're not paying attention...

Then he attacked a woman and doesn't care. Same goes for Sullenberger. Perhaps they should stick to attacking Trump instead of women. Things like that matter to democrats, don't they?

 

[The Barbarian]

Then he attacked a woman and doesn't care.

Actually, there was a male and a female jerk. Unlike Trump, who incited his people to attack hecklers, Biden actually advised the crowd to let them be. "Leave him alone, he's an idiot."

Same goes for Sullenberger.

Sully really called her out for mocking people who stutter, didn't he?

“Stop. Grow up. Show some decency. People who can’t have no place in public life,”

Not that she'll respond to it, but it was good advice.

Perhaps they should stick to attacking Trump instead of women.

Why is it always about gender with you guys? She was being a creep, as was the guy heckling Biden. They got called out for it, appropriately so. You guys always want to make it about whether it's a man or a woman. Do you have any idea how that looks to everyone else?

Things like that matter to democrats, don't they?

Didn't seem to matter to Biden or to Sully. It obviously matters a lot to you. Are you a democrat?

Female jerk? That's a very hateful and sexist comment!

Probably very familiar since it's what "everyone else" uses as their basis of arguing.

Whoa! Let's not start name calling!

But you're O.K. with "male jerk." Why is it always about gender with you guys?

That's what you guys always say when you get called out for it. And no, "everyone does it" is neither true, nor an effective excuse.

And since you're clearly not a democrat, the question is why you guys have a gender problem. Why does it make a difference to you if a jerk is a male or a female?

I don't remember saying that.

Just tryin' to use the same standard as Trump's haters.

Well, you know how it works. Can't criticize a woman because that would be "attacking women". Can't say anything against a person who isn't white, cuz that'd be racist. Can't say anything against someone who has any kind of disability because......well, you get the idea.

If she had let stutterers be, she wouldn't have been called out. She got herself into that fix.

But you're O.K. with "male jerk." Why is it always about gender with you guys?

You complained about a comment about a female jerk, but not the male jerk also called out. It's very transparent. Why is it always about gender for you guys?

Can't criticize a woman because that would be "attacking women".

That's what got you in trouble here. Stop judging people on gender, and just focus on their behavior.

Who is this "you guys" you keep referring to?

You guys who say stuff like this:

I'm one of the guys who likes to use the enemy's medicine to make them see how it tastes.

You should do more reading then.

King George VI and Winston Churchill both stuttered, so Biden is in good company.

I don't doubt that there are more like you out there; I'm merely asking why you think gender matters in such things. IMO, if a male said the same things that Ms. Trump said, he'd be no less a jerk than she was. Why do you think gender makes a difference in those things?

Continue attacking women if you wish. I won't try to stop you.

Why would just being a woman mean one is immune from criticism? You guys always want to make it about gender. Why is that? Trump did something people find despicable. It wouldn't be different if she was a man. Maybe for you, it would be. But not for most of us.

Are you sure about that? Are you really, really sure?

 

[grasping the after wind]

tossing mud comes from both sides of the isle. That's why bipartisanship fails. We need to vote for people who resemble our saviour not a political party.

People that resemble our Savior would not and do not run for political office. It is incumbent upon us as citizens to understand that and not look to politicians to be our saviors.

You're the only person here (so far as I've seen) who has expressed those opinions. So yes, evidence matters.

Besides yourself, who else has said those things here?
