But regardless, It still shows your liberal intolerance for members of normally liberal groups when they step out of line and don't spout the party line. I have a black friend who is a Republican. He gets called traitor, and Uncle Tom and all sorts of names by liberals because he doesn't agree with their politics.
Same thing here.Last edited by Sparko; 07-17-2018, 08:25 AM.

I don't call them traitors. They can choose their own political parties and ideology. I TOLERATE their political beliefs, not demand they agree with mine.
Tolerate means you DON'T agree with someone, but allow them to have their own views. I can even argue and disagree with them openly and that is fine too. The line comes when someone is demonized and outcast for not agreeing with you.
Being black isn't the same as being liberal. There are black people who are libertarians, socialists, democrats, republicans, communists, etc. And generally even if a black person says they are socialist or communist or some other left leaning ideology, they are accepted. But if they say they are right-wing, then they are ostracized.

I mean... have you read the DNC platform, from start to finish? There's social issues, economic issues, environmental issues... A person may be in favor of democratic environmental policy but not care a whit about gay rights. Those ideas don't necessarily have anything to do with each other, beyond being 'things liberals have to agree on.' Really, I don't care about the person in this article, it's still a real phenomenon. I've had Obama-supporting, social-justice loving, vote straight Democrat every single election, religious watchers of Samantha Bee/Daily Show/John Oliver admit to me that they don't like what's happening to the left. Never heard them speak ill of liberals until a few years ago.
Just because McCarthism came from the conservative side doesn't make the left infallible, and it doesn't mean they can't get worse.

SIDEBAR --- Our phone lines at a computer client died, and I called AT&T to report it. They asked if I was an employee. I told them no, and I asked why that mattered. They said they can only take reports of outages from employees of the company.
So, I hung up, called back, and reported the outage - they asked if I was an employee, and I said, "yes" (I was an outside consultant, so it was a bit of a stretch) and they took the complaint, did their little line test, and verified the lines were dead.
They would have been JUST as dead if I had called in as a contractor!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
