Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostThere's a reason why political cartoons have been such powerful propaganda tools throughout the last few decades of history, even though nobody takes their imagery literally. Nobody could get away with a political cartoon in a newspaper that called for the killing of political opponents, but using your logic, such a cartoonist could say, "But it's a cartoon! Don't take it so literally!" Given that there are people out there who genuinely think that rich capitalists should be executed, or that opposing politicians should be executed, and that the French Revolution took these exact sentiments from the populace and led to mass killings... this rhetoric can't be defended."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Anyone notice how the Democrats have been distancing themselves from Obama for years now as they move farther left, but now that it's election time, they all seem to want to show how close to him they are? Biden, Bloomberg and now Warren. All best buds with Obama.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostAnd the second qualifies the first. Key being: “Difference is....”
And regardless of qualifier, the first statement is no excuse to justify anything. I note you're not even attempting to defend it, merely deflecting attention to the alleged "qualifier".Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law.

Here is an article or two from CNN:
When did Barack Obama become a Republican?
https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/01/opini...lon/index.html
I noticed it directly watching the dems for the last couple of years. Biden was going on and on about his "pal" Obama and everyone else was acting like Obama was a pariah. He wasn't left enough for them any more. They wanted to pander to the far left. Yet now that it is getting close to the elections, they realize they need to draw in the moderates or they don't have a chance, so all of a sudden, Obama is everyone's best bud again.
