“This isn’t even a “hard truth”. It’s a simple truth, stated plainly.”
I think the language barrier is keeping me from explaining.
Suppose your wife asks “does this dress make my ass look fat?”
How do you answer?
Well, the same finesse is required here.
I made it very clear to her, very early in our relationship, that I do not play that sort of mind game.
So tell me: what do you think is the problem, here? Who is unable to accept plain truth spoken in plain English.
The problem is not with the truth, ever. The problem is not with Rep. Bachman's plain statement of the truth.
The problem lies elsewhere. Those who are too emotionally unstable to handle the plain spoken truth need to get their act together. Since I'm not clear on whose precious sensibilities are supposedly offended, I can't be more specific than that.
Plenty of people of all stripes have blind spots. Jews are no different.
I remember reading some high praise for Hitler from Jewish academics of the day. That bunch thought he was brilliant and those who worried about antisemitism just didn’t understand his nuances. However its important to note that just as many Protestants, Catholics, Atheists and others were saying the same.
A certain segment of the population is naturally stupid and self destructive without regard for race or religion.
“How do you answer?”
No, honey, not at all! - (unspoken: it’s not the dress ...)
