How is what you do qualitatively different that making a disparaging remark about Jews, but then saying, "Not you, Wonk, you're one of the good ones?"

I made the comment about the demo party or dems in general, but it obviously, in context, goes to the leadership or philosophical leaders of the group. You are a member a neither, to the best of my knowledge. When you get into the DNC party leadership then you can take the criticism personally because it may then be directed at you. For now, its directed at the party leaders, the PAC groups that front them and the outward unofficial spokespeople that consult with them, eg Michael Moore. I don't understand how people can defend some of the egregious abuses of these people or vote them and I think its a sad abdication of the power of your vote, but it doesn't make you a murderer or rapist, and I still fail to see, other than via grandiose delusion, how you internalise such comments.
I don't disparage Jews.
