Background:
"Since 2013, a covert Central Intelligence Agency program known as the Military Operations Command (MOC) has been providing arms and funding to vetted Syrian brigades from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) umbrella group. The aid was earmarked to fight Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and his Syrian Arab Army (SAA). Yet after the Islamic State (IS) captured Mosul and beheaded U.S. journalists in 2014, Washington turned its efforts to fighting the group. To this end, the Department of Defense began supporting the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its armed wing, the People’s Defense Units (YPG). The PYD is the Syrian branch of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a Turkish group that has been fighting Ankara since 1984 and has been on the State Department’s terrorism list since 1997."
 
Being intolerant of rape does not make one a rapist.

Being intolerant of bigotry does not make one a bigot.

The argument that intolerance of intolerance
is the same as true intolerance is asinine.
It is sophomoric and intellectually lazy.

It is really not an argument at all. It's not even
a good excuse for not having an argument.

It's weak. It's BS.

Nope. Do you have proof Trump did anything wrong? You do know that the Constitution gives the President sole authority to make foreign affairs decisions. The Congress has no authority on this and thus there is no impeachment wrongdoing. We know Obama demanded things done by foreign governments before we would send money. Biden even stated this on video tape. He included Obama as the authority for him to do so in order to get a prosecutor fired in the Ukraine that was looking into Hunter Biden's company and Hunter himself. Quid Pro Quo. It's not illegal for a President to do this. The fact that Biden jumped into the run for Presidency to protect his son is of no concern and no illegality either. We also have the President of the Ukraine on camera at the press conference state there was no pressure and thus no quid pro quo.

You, like many others that are scared to answer honestly... have purposely taken the question out of context.

How intolerant is the Right becoming?
They don't care about the constitution if it means Trump is in trouble.

**** the constitution they say.

I'm poking fun at your ridiculous premise.

It's not just the left.

And it's not all of either.

There is nothing ridiculous about a straight-forward question, aka a thread premise.

Unfortunately, nobody EVER said that it was just the Left or that the Left encompassed ALL Liberals. :shrug:

Wanna try again?

I am saying that not all of "The Left" (whatever that means, but it doesn't really matter in this case) are intolerant.
And most of those who are got that way due to misguided attempts to be inclusive and protect those who need protected. IMO

Personally, I think Ellen was wrong about it being OK to be friends with George W. Bush, but that's based on my understanding/opinion of his actions as president and the harm they caused.

I am assuming the reference to "Kathy G" is from about 5+ years ago, but I never thought that was very important. Just someone trying to be edgy. Art is like that. Artists riding the edge to draw attention and sell their art.

I have no idea what Whoopi is up to.

That's not what you were arguing in the above though. You are now attempting to move the goal posts; logic fail.

I can shatter your argument with one name...two words...

Barrack Obama.

There is a long list of democrats that idiot leftists in this country tripped over themselves to vote for. What do they all have in common? They all opposed gay marriage as a candidate for the highest office of the land, and idiot leftists all **** themselves making excuses for their positions while shrieking and pointing fingers at republicans and labeling them 'bigots'.

There is a better word that applies.

Hypocrite.

Kiss off, junior. Your question was and is an attempt at dishonestly forcing an answer from your betters,
an answer that you won't get from me or anyone else smarter than you, which is why you still have not
gotten that answer. While you may be dumb enough to ask it, nobody else is dumb enough to fall for it.
BTW, how did you end up with the name Bodhisattva? Was it because Bodhish*thead was already taken?

Your personal attack doesn't change the fact that idiot leftists **** themselves over conservatives that opposed gay marriage while rushing to the polls to vote for candidates that openly opposed gay marriage, clearly exposing themselves as nothing more than mindless partisan hypocrites.

Unfortunately for you... this post of yours is an Ad Hominem attack.

Let me post the definition for you so that hopefully you might read it and understand...

Ad Hominem (Personal Attack)
Explanation

... ad hominem argument is a form of genetic fallacy. Arguments of this kind focus not on the evidence for a view but on the character of the person advancing it; they seek to discredit positions by discrediting those who hold them. It is always important to attack arguments, rather than arguers, and this is where arguments that commit the ad hominem fallacy fall down

Logical Fallacies >> Ad Hominem (Personal Attack)


Would you like to go back and try to make an argument that is not fallacious this time?

This is another Ad Hominem attack... two in a row.

That is not something that those that consider themselves smarter than others would necessarily trip into.
