(13,750 posts)I said kepp the Right wing HAPPY. If you are under any illusions that fighting among the left keeps the right wing happy, I invite you to listen to right wing talk Radio. They know full well that the Right was won because the left does the circular firing squad like no one else. Can you deny that?
And if you use right wing means to "make sure would not likely happen again?" Then you allow more and more right wing tactics to enter in, until there is no moral high ground to fight from: (see Patriot Act, Guantanomo Bay.) It was right wing to throw RedQueen and Seabeyond out, regardless of what the offensive poster did, and now all you did was make the anti LGBT person a martyr to those who sympathize with her views (which admittedly, were rather nasty. I never denied she needed to be reprimanded if not tombstoned.)
But unfair and unkind? if you act like a right winger, you get treated like one, and that most certianly includes shady coups.
