Even Richard Nixon (and consider the sinister implications of the phrase "even Richard Nixon&quot didn't stoop to that kind of horseshit. And when you're measuring degrees of slipperiness and insincerity in Nixon units, you're already over an aquarium full of sharks.

Downthread, you just replied to my post showing three people think Bernie is racist. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #46

Okay, so it took the OP 6 months to create a post.... MaggieD Feb 2016 #57

Why are you making false claims? The op never said that poll was the reason for the op. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #60

Correct - I'm trying to find the reason for the OP MaggieD Feb 2016 #61

I wasn't pointing to a specific post, as noted in #36. nt MadDAsHell Feb 2016 #67

okay MaggieD Feb 2016 #71

yep, I guess I should have said "rabidly, dishonestly, disingenuously, and repeatedly implied he is" MadDAsHell Feb 2016 #36

The mincing words game is as much of a yawn as the playing brand new game. merrily Feb 2016 #45

There have been several posts openly calling him a racist as well as a poll. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #22
