If by "holier than thou" you mean consistently condemning such comparisons, then sure, I'll own that.




You mean did I defend the comparison?  If so, the answer is no.  I have routinely stated that comparisons to the Holocaust or Nazi Germany should not be made for the exact reasons listed in my original post.  If your issue is with my not making a thread specific to this occurrence than I'll have to extend my apologies, I cannot, and will not, be making a thread about every single such occurrence.  I will, instead, allow my general statement on such comparisons to answer such questions; they should not be made.


I would close in inquiring as to why you felt the need to raise such concerns considering my consistent condemnation of the actions I decry in my original post.  Maybe if we were all more consistent in our outrage here we'd have a more congenial forum for honest discussion?  Please note I do not single you out in this regard, the practice is rather widespread.  I would point out that calling out unacceptable behavior should not be confined to the "low hanging fruit" posters (and I know you know exactly who I mean).  I've been called out by posters I respect and it caused me to reexamine my conduct or argument.  Sadly, this is rarely done, especially with those who share our particular ideological bent.  Who knows what we could have here if this was not the case?

Your post seems to very intentionally comes across as "Here is bad liberal doing the same thing I have been fighting with bad liberal Dill about". The only purpose of this thread seems to be for you to use it as a vehicle to attack Dill, considering that an actual elected official did the very thing you are complaining about in this thread, but there was no mention of him (presumably because said politician was a Republican so you can't compare him to Dill as easily as the guy who was Sec of Edu over 5 years ago). 

Would you have started this thread if you weren't beefing with Dill? Probably not, and that's the kind of dumb shit that gets this place shut down. Don't start threads for the sole purpose of calling out another member if it means the rest of us can suffer as a result. At the very least, be clever in your mockery so that we know who you're ragging on without you explicitly saying it. I know witty mockery isn't foreign to you lol.
