Bigotry - I denounce it, and I'm allowed to

I am allowed to disdain racism, sexism, homophobia and anti-Semitic posts when I see them.

I need nobody's permission to state that I find such slurs ugly. I do not have to attack every single post that has ever occurred to call out bigotry when it happens.

We combat bigotry when we see it if we are Democrats.

Talk about the Perfect being the enemy of the good.

Dang.

expresses. When Hillary's bigoted revision of AIDS history was preached to the TV cameras her cohort here excused it, defended it, and stood proudly with it. They did not object, they did not add their voices as Hillary supporters to those of other Democrats offended to hear the Republican villains of that time recast by Hillary as courageous and saintly figures whom she credited for work they did not not and which was done by others at great personal cost.

They are very busy defending and excusing horrible rhetoric out of Hillary and out of Bill and of course making OPs that suggest the Jewish candidate is just a big money schemer.
