40. I'm amazed that you would upbraid me for 'honesty'

...in defense of such a dishonest premise.

I'm frankly tired of the moralizing. All of the posts about the different 'values' Sanders supporters here supposedly hold, as opposed to the lesser or corrupted values you've associated with Hillary supporters as an extension of the politics you're practicing here in support of Bernie Sanders. It's the height of arrogance to imagine the objects of your derision shouldn't defend themselves or their candidate.

I'm a man of integrity who is as well-informed on these issues you've written about as anyone on this board. I'm frankly surprised that you believe you can talk to me as if I was some child.

You want to proliferate this line of attack on Hillary Clinton without rebuttal, you'll need to do that somewhere other than a public forum. You don't want a 'Hillary supporter's' opinion, don't ask for it.
