Therese Purcell: "OK. I'll invite Allen West for an open dialog about how he overcame racism."
Libs: "Hater! Racist! We'll fix you! Run for your life!"
Your summary is spot-on. That is exactly the mentality of those little fascists. They don’t want a “conversation” (to use one of their favorite pompous words) but a one-sided rant from their side and bullying of anyone who disagrees.
When they say. “We need a dialog about race,” they’re really saying, “We want to lecture and scold you about how evil and wrong you are, while you hang your heads in shame and grovel.”
Libs: “We need a dialog about race.”
Therese Purcell: “OK. I’ll invite Allen West for an open dialog about how he overcame racism.”
Libs: “Hater! Racist! We’ll fix you! Run for your life!”
Now attempt to process that scenario in the world of reality where the men in white coats were at one time offering help.
