Looks like my ignore list will be permanent.

And, as many in that thread pointed out - a team that includes Bill Clinton should really not be making this shit up - Bill provides all-too-true fodder of that sort. When Claire McCaskill says she wouldn't leave her daughter alone in a room with Bill, Hillary's supporters should realized that they are living in a glass house, throwing really stupidly invented out of desperation stones. That poster could likely get a job at TMZ, or worse.

History and evidence would suggest otherwise.

Personally, I think people's sex lives, even those of public figures, should be left to themselves. That is why this repeated posting of an innocent photo of Sanders and a supporter is ridiculous.

But not as ridiculous (or ironic) as someone attempting to defend Bill Clinton's documented activities while at the same time trying to slander Sanders.

Not suggesting you are doing either btw, but your post kind of brought it all together as a convenient way to comment.

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

On Tue May 3, 2016, 09:24 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Are you suggesting Bill is not an old pervert? http://www.democraticundergroun

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling Bill Clinton an "Old Pervert" is rightwing crap and to then claim they don't care about someone's sex lives while going along with crap about Clinton? Sorry. OTT

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue May 3, 2016, 09:33 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: The sensitivity around here is amazing. Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: Clinton the Horndog is a mainstream meme across the political spectrum. Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: Two hides upthread. Ridiculous. It appears there is an all out war going on here to eliminate free speech. Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT Explanation: No explanation given Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: No explanation given Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT Explanation: No explanation given Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE Explanation: Sorry, NOT OTT. Getting tired of these vindictive and unnecessary alerts...

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Tue May 3, 2016, 11:23 AM

non-ideological thought process.

If someone chooses a candidate based identity politics or other non-ideological means, that person will not necessarily understand the thought process of someone else who has chosen a candidate by a different thought process. You cannot use logic to convince someone that they should support the Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees - it is a matter of identity and not choice based on ideology.

When you see someone make a completely asinine and illogical argument, you can infer that they have come to select their candidate based on a non-rational thought process. You will not change their mind by pointing out the errors in their arguments any more than you could persuade a Yankee fan to support the Red Sox by talking about batting averages and slugging percentages.
