You appear to be making accusations against a boy who at the time would have been between 12 and 14 years old."It ain't necessarily so

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostHe also said he didn't help them, he was just brought along. I think your biases against him are showing a bit here. I honestly don't know what US Conservatives have against him. As for him lying to be a Christian, that is a sin of course, but I won't fault a jewish kid doing what he could to survive. I think neither of us are in a position to shame him for it.

Originally posted by seanD View PostI'm not responding to the "conservative animosity" towards him, I'm responding to his direct words.
But the way I see people on Facebook and other places talk of him is honestly disturbing.
It WAS a yes or no question,
Since biases are on display here I prefer the more benign interpretation.
and that's how he answered it at first. Your argument is that he contradicts himself. First he confirms that he took part in the confiscation (and that was the direct question to him), then less than 30 seconds later he denies he took part. That makes no sense.
He said yes to whether he went out and helped. And the range of a yes to that is much greater. The former far more strongly implies an active part, than him just following along and having little say in what is done.
I’d even go so far as to say that his answer is consistent with him merely following along those groups and doing little except fetching coffee.
There just isn’t enough here.
My argument is that meant he took no part in the sense that he wasn't part of the actual orders, it's just he doesn't have command of the English language, so it came out that way.
You also have the problem that if you believe Soros command of English is poor, then you have to deal with the complexity of whether he understood the questions as you do.
He even compared it to the market. Why do you think he did that?
I honestly consider that despicable, even if (as you claim) he was actively helping them take possession of Jewish items. This is not a situation I believe we have the right to judge him for, or to use in political propaganda against him.Last edited by Leonhard; 08-15-2020, 03:20 AM.

Originally posted by seanD View PostI mean, maybe some of the conspiracy theory stuff about him is a bit over-the-top (like if there are theories that he's some kind of reptilian shape shifter or something),
Originally posted by seanD View Postbut the only thing I've heard is that he's a major funder of certain leftist movements and organizations, whether directly or indirectly through his foundations, and that's also been proven to be a fact.
The Koch brothers and the Mercers fund and support right wing political groups, do you apply the same opprobrium to them because of the causes they espouse?"It ain't necessarily so

Originally posted by JimL View PostDemocrats weren't upset about him calling MS13 members animals, not for the most part anyway, what they were upset about was that by MS13 Trump was refering to undocumented immigrants in general. It's called a dog whistle which wasn't meant for democrat ears, it was just another racist trope meant for the dog ears of his base.
