It's pointless on a political discussion, and reeks of nothing more than arrogance.America - too good to let the conservatives drag it back to 1950.

Originally posted by CivilDiscourse View PostSure it does. A frequent use of hers is to derail threads through "clarifying" anti-antisemitism. "Palestinians are Semites too". However, when she is making use of the word anti-semitism, she doesn't care to apply a clarification towards Palestinians. In other words, she doesn't care about "clarity and precision" of definition unless it serves to disrupt or derail opponents.
This specific example is particularly galling as A. Anti-semitism has a clear meaning, one that is specifically anti-jew, and one rarely, if ever, seen referring to palestinians. So it actually serves to disrupt threads, be anti-semetic in and of itself, and try to apply an incorrect definition to a word that's already defined."It ain't necessarily so

It ain't necessarily so."
