(19,877 posts)It's cool how you side with a poster who told me (<- a Jew) that I should go hang out at a neo-Nazi website. But then again that crowd seems to love blaming the victim.
Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)No one MADE you do that, JaneyVee. You're not a victim, you're a perpetrator.

(19,877 posts)Everything to do with returning the snark to the offending poster. Don't think too deep about it. I'm not a victim, I'm a fighter.
Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)A false claim, for all it matters. Not only did you use a hate site to attack a Jewish candidate, you actually lied about the content to do so. Which is just doubly sad.
JaneyVee
(19,877 posts)So I did. And not knowing what it was initially, I found that that poster may have more in common over there than me, a Jew who is rooting for a candidate despised by Stormfront. While that poster may have had more in common than me over there. Dumb in retrospect? Sure. But it was hidden and not really as deep as you're trying to make it. Just snarking back.
Btw, did you reprimand the poster who told a Jewish girl to go over to Stormfront?

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Accusing another member of having "more in common over there than me" at a known neo-nazi hate group's website is oot. Comparing a supporter of a Jewish candidate to members of a murderous anti-semitic hate group is way way way oot.

(18,775 posts)Stormfront is a white nationalist,[3] white supremacist[4] and neo-Nazi[5] Internet forum that was the Web's first major racial hate site.[6]
Stormfront began as an online bulletin board system in the early 1990s before being established as a website in 1995 by former Ku Klux Klan leader and white supremacist Don Black. It received national attention in the United States in 2000 after being featured as the subject of a documentary, Hate.com. Stormfront has been the subject of controversy after being removed from French, German, and Italian Google indexes, for targeting an online FOX News poll on racial segregation, and for having political candidates as members. Its prominence has grown since the 1990s, attracting attention from watchdog organizations that oppose racism and antisemitism.
A decent human being would be ashamed to even accidentally click on that filth.

Stormfront's fucking vile and has no place here, but frankly no one has any place at this point to claim the moral high ground any longer.

(16,184 posts)Neither are right, but it's absolutely disingenuous for a group of supporters that has had no qualms utilizing phrases such as "down the racial road", race naggers, house niggers, and Stockholm Syndrome to cry racism.
Less two wrongs, more plank in one's eye.
