“Who are you to criticize a writer of Msgr. Pope’s stature?”
I’m someone who will call you a hypocrite for making a disagreement personal after calling others out for what you considered Alinsky tactics.
He picked a poor example, and your only two choices are that he did it carelessly... or he did it intentionally. Both choices lead to different conclusions, neither of which are very flattering.
I personally think it was intentional, and my opinion of him is shaped by that. But buy all means, keep defending the undeniable and I’ll keep posting the same point in response and it will continue to build up a wall of evidence to memorialize the poor decision.
Or you could walk away from this one.
“I’m someone who will call you a hypocrite”
Sure you will. That’s next in the Alinsky playbook.
“for making a disagreement personal”
Don’t come the great ponce with me, melad. You and the others with you have been offensive since the first post.
“after calling others out for what you considered Alinsky tactics.”
Oh, you do keep reaching for those straws.
It is long past time for decent people to wake up and realize that when dealing with scumbags, civility is nothing but a self-imposed handicap. We conservatives are free to say unpleasant things too; unlike Alinskyites, though, we make sure the things we say are true.
“He picked a poor example”
To an intelligent, sane, reasonable man, his example was perfectly fine. An Alinskyite knows that time spent discussing this is time not spent discussing morality, and has no concern for the truth, and so he trolls with ludicrous inventions such as, “He picked a poor example.”
“and your only two choices are that he did it carelessly... or he did it intentionally.”
Since your initial premise has been shown to be dreck, no such choice exists.
“neither of which are”
Neither of which *is.*
“I personally think it was intentional”
No you don’t.
“But buy all means”
But *by* all means.
“keep defending the undeniable”
It’s right there for everyone to read. Did you forget that?
“and I’ll keep posting the same point in response”
What point? You don’t have a point. You have a ridiculous falsehood that is exposed by the very text of the OP. All that people have to do is scroll up and read it.
“Or you could walk away from this one.”
Yes. I’m not prejudiced against drooling morons per se, but I can only handle so much idiocy at one sitting.
