Well, to catch you up, it was a Left person that called the woman a whore. Calling out Taj is fine as he seems dumb, but, the whole whore thing started from someone else in this thread which appears to be what he was referring to.
You do realize that the whole left/right dichotomy is just made-up bullshit to dehumanize/collectivize individuals and justify immoral and/or unethical behavior, right?
But hey, this is what I get for calling out childish behavior... being corrected that someone else did it first.

Bruh if you think it was at all anything other than political theatre as a kickoff for a 2020 run you might as well be wearing a MAGA hat.
Yea, your comments aren't politically inspired at all. Look in a mirror once in a while.

First, explain what you mean when you say made up. I get that these are terms created by people, but, the idea that generally people fall into one of the two major groups seems reasonable. I do agree that many use those labels as a way to collectively dismiss people, so I don't want to dismiss your point there. I will also through in that its very weird that people on the Right are acting very hypocritical about fighting nominations considering how much worse it was under Obama. Seems stupid and silly.

As for my criticism of what you called out, it was not really a correction so much as a clarification of what happened. People can be called out for what they do, but, I think that what happened in terms of who started it was relevant here. You called out taj for something that you felt was wrong to do, but, did not call out the person that started it. Given your point about calling out people on either side, it would seem to be a missed opportunity.

I am completely on your side if you were trying to call for civil discourse and calling out people that damage or prevent that. It just seemed like you were not adhering to your own point. I also granted you that you may have missed his post which would have been perfectly reasonable.

Doesn't it ever bother you that your ilk has taken petty, uncivil, and childish behavior to the highest levels of our government?
Wait.. never mind. I almost forgot that you believe that expanding civil liberties means supporting a President who thinks that govt officials take an oath to him instead of to the Constitution.
he was willing to nade children crossing the border illegally, just how high do you think his principles are?

How do you reconcile your purported belief in God and Trump with the fact that Trump wants you to hate refugees yet Jesus was a refugee in Egypt?

They don't care about Jesus or anything other than hatred which is what they believe Jesus was all about.
