PSA: If you are part of a listserv that has nothing to do with politics…
If you are part of a listserv (or yahoo group, or meetup.com, etc), on subjects like homeschooling and autism and local meet-at-the-park type groups, please leave your nasty, bigoted, racist smear campaigns OFF THE LIST.
Usually this isn’t too much of an issue, but today almost EVERY. SINGLE. ONE of my groups had some sort of propaganda on it. If I want to see a bunch of frenzied, lying spin doctors, I have my own tv and I am pretty sure it has the Fox channel on it already. I also have a computer and can access that kind of information myself if I feel like doing damage to my blood pressure. However, I am really, REALLY trying not to get to wound up in politics this season and it is very hard when I have it blasted in my face on my nice little homeschool and autism groups.
And seriously, if you honestly think your party is being reasonable, don’t you think a reasonable argument or statement is going to go a lot farther than a bunch of screaming dittoheads?
Stop the madness! I prefer that you use some critical thinking skills when you look at the candidates, and I can understand and respect that for some people every election is a one issue election (like serious anti-choice people), but if you are going to criticize a candidate at least do so truthfully and in an appropriate forum.
Having a different opinion is fine. Using hate, xenophobia, racial slurs, and blatent lies because you think the end justifies the means is not okay.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
peace be with you.
Exactly. We are on the safe lists and this has been driving me CRAZY!
Um, I meant to say “same lists”.
