Is Harassment of Public Figures Acceptable: Your Sincere Opinion

[Angrboda]

I categorically reject the idea of "dog-whistles". I cannot say it better than another has already done:

"Any statement about a member of group, whether positive or negative (let alone accurate or inaccurate), made by someone suspected of being racist (i.e., anyone on the Right), may be demonstrated, after sufficiently imaginative interpretation, to have associated categories with each other in an implicitly racist, dog-whistling way. Praising a particular black man as hard-working, for example, could be uncharitably interpreted as a subtle invocation of stereotypes that black people are lazy. With enough bad faith, anything is possible." - Bonevac, Association Arguments: Dog Whistling in the Dark

And that "bad faith" is exactly how the Left formulates their false charges of racism against their opponents. If Trump has succeeded at anything at all, he has made the smear tactics of the Left clearly apparent. Your race cards have expired. Ordinary Americans in "fly-over" country are sick of your slander.

You're amusing. If the term dog whistle is used in bad faith or in a way that distorts things, then you can complain. You haven't satisfied that 'if' yet. In the absence of such, your complaint is that because something can be abused, any use of it is therefore an example of abuse, which is ridiculous. But by all means, try to weasel out of the problems with your prior claims with this rather pathetic bit of bullshit. Whatever happened to replying to claims with objective facts? I guess that was as convenient a bunch of nonsense as this latest bit of nonsense, to be summarily discarded when it is to your advantage to do so.

Are you then committed to defending the racist practices Trump used in the example given? That he ended up having to redress those grievances which you apparently think didn't exist pretty much shows the hollowness of your latest rhetoric. You may not be a racist, but you are a dishonest and hypocritical twat. Take that and shove it along with your analysis of the left up your gaping asshole.
