Sure it does. It says a LOT about you and your willingness to "tolerate" falsehoods...counterfeits...and cults.
And when this is integrated politically, it tells us that people who tend to hold these convictions also think it would be "bigoted" to consider the jihadist worldviews of a Muslim candidate...
Or it would be "bigoted" to consider the other-worldly worldviews of a Scientologist candidate...[Where this weighs in is a "character" issue -- a candidate's gullibility to deception...which applies not only to the religious realm but also foreign policy, etc...Discernment of a candidate is a character issue oft' forgotten in people who think of formal "job descriptions"...Yet you want to reduce this all to mere "bigotry" -- as if ONLY the worldview of the evaluative voter matters and ne'er the worldview of the candidate under consideration...how ludicrous]
I can just see the day...the year is 2024...a Satanist candidate runs for POTUS...and you rush in to threads to lecture and scold posters for highlighting the Satanic beliefs of that candidate...I suppose you would be consistent in calling them "bigots," too, eh?
Or why even bother with hypotheticals? There's been COUNTLESS threads on FR highlighting both the supposed closet Muslim views of Obama...along with his ties to Jeremiah Wright.
I supposed you've displayed your convictions in those threads, too, eh? Have you gone in there and accused others of being "bigots" vs. Islam? No? Why how convenient?
And if not, then how religiously dual-faced and hypocritical.
If you're speaking out of religious conviction here in your ongoing tirade vs. perceived "bigotry," then you've got a LOT of work to do on other threads...Better get your lecture tour in order.
Otherwise, I openly challenge and question you on your lack of consistency...which has already been well-displayed by your open resistance to applying your Virgil Goode win (say the state of CA) vs. the same Q as applied to Mitt Romney (can he win the state of CA?).
Just a short reponse to illustrate the great chasm in your “logical” progression:
“If you’re speaking out of religious conviction here in your ongoing tirade vs. perceived “bigotry,” then you’ve got a LOT of work to do on other threads...Better get your lecture tour in order.
“Otherwise, I openly challenge and question you on your lack of consistency...which has already been well-displayed by your open resistance to applying your Virgil Goode win (say the state of CA) vs. the same Q as applied to Mitt Romney (can he win the state of CA?).”
If I ask if a spider is an insect, I am not morally, logically, scientifically nor otherwise obligated to query if every other living thing, or indeed ANY other living thing is an insect. Your attempt to put me, unfairly, in that philosophical corner displays more about your inferrences (that I was asking an “unfair” question about Goode) than it does about my question. It also hints at a shade of insecurity regarding Goode’s candidacy. It is the rhetorical equivilant of the childhood “that’s not fair, Brother pulled Sissy’s hair and you didn’t ask him” which, of course, does little to answer the original question, “Did you pull Sissy’s hair?”
