re: #300 Scottish Dragon

Some people (cough cough Corner Stone) at Balloon Juice have gone full throttle nihilism and are hoping the middle school teacher who signed the letter for Kavanaugh also gets wrecked as a result of this. One commenter hoped he would lose his house, wife and kids because he signed the letter supporting Kavanaugh and fuck him he deserves to burn.

I can’t do this. I cannot be with people who are going to be this consumed by hatred that a middle school teacher being nice to a buddy from three decades ago is fair game for destruction and opprobrium.

I think I flounced.

We cannot let ourselves become the enemy we are fighting. I refuse to go down that path.

I don’t agree with your flow of logic. I am not friends with rapists. I am not friends with racists. If a friend of mine was accused of doing what Kavanaugh did, I would not write him a letter of support, I would write the fucker out of my life and wonder how I could be so fucking blind. My definition of friendship does not include supporting anyone no matter what the fuck they do. That is bullshit. And, I would extend that to my kids. Be a bad person, don’t expect me to try all kinds of shit to get you off. That is exactly what the fuck is wrong with this country. Own your shit, Americans. Own it each and every one.
