Why are "some" right-wing conservatives so intellectually dishonest?

[Curious George]

Are you aware that the article is an opinion piece minus any stats to support it?

An opinion piece that does list democrats and some republicans but the central idea is that Democrats oust more democrats who are guilty of misconduct because they are the ones trying to extinguish the misconduct. The article is suggesting that allegations are a bigger threat to democrats because democrats care whereas republicans are happy to obfuscate and call it fake news.

I am really struggling to see how this makes sense.

The rhetorical question we were given was:

Why is it that Liberal democrats are the ones that are caught more in Criminal of Corruption than Republicans.

The article seems to suggest the answer is because democrats care about changing misconduct whereas republicans do not.

I really hope such generalizations about the parties are not true. But is do other people think that most republicans don't care about extinguishing sexual misconduct?

Seems like a trivial aspect: who received more death threats.

It was a false claim, why try to sort through the rest? You can polish a turd but good luck convincing other people it's a bar of silver.

I don't think I am trying to polish a turd here. I am discussing the main ideas expressed. You seem fixated on a detail. Why is that?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Well then you should have said that it was only that. The world is not bound by your experiences. Your generalizations are unwarranted.

These flatland rural places are all about the same. I was born in Missouri, and live in Indiana. I hear from pretty much everyone who has lived in Indiana and Iowa that they are very similar, and I've traveled around enough to see the similarities in vastness of "rural America." We aren't saying the "heartland" is an identical clone anywhere you go, but, basically, the pro-Bible billboards begin around this area North and increase in density the further south you go, and any small town "heartland old time diner" is going to look about the same and sit in a town that looks about like all the other small rural town cities. Similar enough, these states are, that many of them are on the list as the biggest meth states in the nation.

There's threats, and there's threats. What was the nature of these "30 a day"?

There 's racism, and there's racism.

Someone wrote "Chink" on my dorm door.
I was pretty upset, but I patiently figured out
whose writing it was.

When I confronted him, with others present,
he was very apologetic.

Then there's racism like the exclusion act and
all the mistrestment of Asians in the USA.

As racism and threats go, I dont think Obama
has exactly suffered.

Side note,

These days, it is safe to be sexist and racist if the
target is white males.

Hmm.. You seem to be a little detached from reality. Are you saying you weren't the target of a racist act?

And, because Obama has a security detail, he hasn't suffered through racism, and credible threats?

Go back to sleep.

Maybe give me something original? You can do it!

 

[Father Heathen]

All are only equal vis-à-vis their status as humans and in relation to the divine. Amongst men, there is neither equality nor any right to equality except before the law. You are preaching communism. In fact I would say that you are an ipso facto dyed-in-the-wool communist.

By your standards even Jesus was a "communist".

 

[Shadow Wolf]

By your standards even Jesus was a "communist".

Jesus was pretty big into equality, and giving and sharing, and he clearly had a bone to pick with those who hoarded wealth.

Exactly. If Jesus returned today, but conservatives weren't aware that it was him, they would dismiss him as hippy socialist scum.

More Liberal democrats have step down out their office, for their sexual misconduct towards women then Republicans.

I'm actually not a registered democrat but an independent voter....Good job with the ASSumptions

 

[Epic Beard Man]

It was one of the first claims in the o.p. that was made which was either actual willful ignorance of easily obtainable facts or a conscious effort at intellectual dishonesty by the writer of it.
Take your pick

I posted two links that contradict your view...It's not my problem you disagree with it.

 

[Epic Beard Man]

It's all in the evidence that more liberal democrats are caught in the sexual abuse towards women than Republicans.

Comments on Sexual-harassment scandals imperil Democrats more than ...

A reckoning. Sexual-harassment scandals imperil Democrats more than Republicans ... The view shunned by liberals: ... There is more information about women and their careers.

Considering Trump has grabbed a lot of women in his time I wonder If you have the same fervor towards him?

As to how do you know of a certain that Trump grabbed women ?

As men we all have said certain things about women behind closed doors, Right

So just because Trump sayings things, doesn't prove a thing.

As to where I work, the guys were talking putting down Trump on what he said about women.
Until I stood up, before them all and said to them, over the years in working with you all, there's not one of you here that hasn't said something about women. So who are you to condemn Trump. not one of them had anything to say. They all forgot or didn't think that anyone would say anything about how they all would talk about women.
How many men, when in locker rooms, haven't talk about women in one or another.
So what's up with all that.

So there's not one man that hasn't talk about women in one or another, Right

So, he's either a liar, or he was being truthful.

1) No. We as men don't all joke about molesting women.

2) Trump is married. Jesus calls this adultery.

 

[Faithofchristian]

So, he's either a liar, or he was being truthful.

Nope not at all, how do you not know that it was nothing but talk.

Seeing how men do talk about women in one way or another, but it doesn't mean they actually did what their talking.

I can just about guarantee that alot of men haved talk about women in one way or another, without actually doing what they said.
What's that all about.
Go Figure

Are you freaking kidding me, there's not a man around that hasn't talk about women in one way or another.
Get real.

So who made you the judge, didn't Jesus say, Judge not, for in the way you judge, You shalt be judge.

So how do you not know, that Trump ask Jesus forgiveness,. And now your judging Trump,
I'd be very careful in judging someone especially not knowing for sure if they had ask Christ Jesus forgiveness.

Matt.7. [1] "Judge not, that you be not judged. [2] For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again"

So, he's either a liar, or he was being truthful.

Either way, being married, he committed adultery:

You heard that it was said to the ancients: You shall not commit adultery; but I -- I say to you, that every one who is looking on a woman to desire her, did already commit adultery with her in his heart.

-- It doesn't matter what a lot of men do. Wide is the gate that leads to destruction. Molestation is not a joke.

I've never joked about molesting women, not even as a child. No one is able to judge me with that judgement. But I am able to judge Trump with righteous judgement, because Jesus already has. Joking about molestation of women is adultery.
