[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]- and Donald Sterling once made donations to liberal democrats and was nominated by the NAACP for a civil rights award- so should we look the other way towards his racist comments the way you suggest we ignore Barry's bigotry?

24 years of racist bigotry?  Decades of public corruption?  Violations of DC hate speech laws within the last few years??

C'mon! How big of a hipocrit are you?  Why are you trying so hard to defend someone who has damage our city as much as Barry has??[/quote]

Apparently we have a new tradition in which we compare anyone we don't like to Donald Sterling. I actually shouldn't say "we", because this is not my tradition. Rather, it seems limited to reading comprehension-challenged blowhards. Every poster who has acknowledged positive aspects to Barry had also agreed that there are negative aspects. I understand that you do not want your one-dimensional image of Barry to be complicated by facts that don't fit your preferred narrative. One dimension is probably enough of a challenge for you in any case. But, why are do you mischaracterizing the views of those of us capable of observing more than one dimension? Is this an accidental result of your inability to read simple English, or an intentional distortion that is simply your style of argument?
