Robert Kennedy Jr. Compares Vaccine Debate To Holocaust As California Lawmakers Look At Banning Exemptions « CBS San Francisco

Yeah, if we could stop comparing things we don't like to the Holocaust, Nazis and slavery that'd be great.

On the Hillary note; It seems not only are the Democratic party policies unsustainable, but they are illogical. Hillary said that the reason there is so much crime in the inner-cities is due to poverty, yet then she supports amnesty to illegal aliens, a demographic that is exclusively poor. I think huffing paint thinner is the initiation ritual to become a full-fledged liberal.

Hillary Clinton - Immigration

I wouldn't call that illogical: an amnesty for illegal aliens means they actually have the chance of earning the money to get themselves out of poverty; if they remain, and remain illegal, they're far more likely to be exploited & paid derisory wages. Seems perfectly logical to me.

I notice that to social justice warriors, feeling trumps accuracy.

Well I would probably fall into the "social justice warrior" category, but to compare to these things is to diminish their impact on their victims. I don't care how much *you* hate the ACA, it's not slavery; and no matter how much *you* hate the vacine debate it's not the Holocaust.

I agree.
But I'm thinking of this definition....
Urban Dictionary: social justice warrior
....which wouldn't apply to you.

You may call yourself a "social justice advocate" (level headed sounding).
That appears to fit you better (even if it is just "off the rack").

All things considered, I've been called worse. LOL

Chelsea Clinton: I tried to care about money but couldn't - NY Daily News
Someone who has never really had to work for money, never faced foreclosure, & never ran a business wouldn't need to care about money.
But such a person would make a lousy leader.
I hope she never runs for office.

So, you were in favor of raising the debt ceiling? What's your angle?

Actually, this quote is quite reasonable.
What is damnable is the response of his audience (outraged black folk), ie, booing him for it.
And then he apologized, showing no testicular fortitude.

Btw, Rev Rick hasn't been around in a while, so a response might not be soon.

This = truth. I wholeheartedly support the "black lives matter" movement, but O'Malley should have pointed out that they were being stupid at least a little.

I don't see that in your post.

What I see is the willingness to quote him, out of context, but not say "the problem is black culture" when that seems to be what you actually meant.

I thought the link would make it sufficiently obvious what the damnable portions would be.
I'd have quoted relevant portions, but I was prevented from copying the text.

This almost always works, but didn't this time.
A computer problem? A restriction imposed by the supplier? IDK.
Anyway I said what I meant above.
