RE: What is it with Trump supporters not wanting to discuss policy without name calling

Ok, to the liberals in this thread saying that the KKK endorsing Trump makes Trump a racist:
STOP IT
Its a terrible argument and terrible use of logic. Moreover, its guilt by association, where the association wasn't even asked for by Trump.
If someone endorses you, it means that someone likes you. It doesn't imply ANY inverse relationship.
Think of it this way. If a racist came onto this forum and kudosed a post you made, maybe kudosed every post you made, said you were the best poster here, does that make you a racist? Fuck no. So stop applying the same argument to other things.
There *is* an argument that refusing to acknowledge or reject the KKK's endorsement is subtly racist, but it's a very weak argument. Go by the actions and words of the person that are obviously racist, or people will call you on it.
