It continues to impress me that no one here really believes
they would do such a thing, meanwhile ignoring the fact that generally people do this numerous times. You've never sworn? You've never raised your voice? Then you've never really been committed with any passion to anything -- by definition.
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. -- Barry Goldwater
I at least have a reasonable explanation why Obama shouts at people he's supposed to be answering, why Clinton castigates people over his appearance, why Ms. Clinton bristles at a question about her husband's opinion, why people are more than mush in politics. They're passionately held, and there's passion in supporting either the cause or the entity affected by the cause.
But to think it's
good not to be passionate about something -- I think the falsehood lies there. If you can be calmly dismissal about the fall of liberty or justice, then you can, indeed, be calmly dismissal about other wrongs.
About not caring about the trillions of dollars? Yeah, I think she believes that. A black man I respect thinks conservatives are indifferent to blacks because we won't improve their plight through legislation. You have to spend a lot of time with a liberal before you can really say they're lying, and screaming doesn't help anything.
No, I can conclude that they're lying, because they say, "We see", and yet they're still blind. That's tantamount to lying.
If they can't see what people are saying, while asserting they know what people are saying: they're lying.
About accepting non-citizens? How's that a lie?
No. She said something offensive on live radio.
Yeah, isn't that why she called?
Clearly not if she's going to lie about it.
Yeah, she was rude. Being stern or even insulting ("Brood of vipers!") is appropriate, but I disagree with screaming. It's hard to rebuke someone when you're not being respectable yourself.
The
punishment's deserved. She deserves it. Lying and spreading lies, cursing about being discovered on live talk radio, not even listening to the host, not responding, jumping from subject to subject like a rat on a hotplate -- yeah. The punishment's deserved. She deserved what she got.
How does the difference matter for this discussion? The one way I can think of doesn't prove your point IMO.
He's continued to be rational. She's lying about him, getting him in hot water with the FCC, and not getting anywhere in her thinking process. She deserved what she got.
