In reply to the discussion: Sanders refuses to rescind endorsement of candidate sporting Nazi tattoo [View all]QueerDuck
(353 posts)... it's in reference to the tattoo, or explaining what the tattoo means and questioning the wisdom of sporting a Nazi symbol, etc etc etc. --- Nobody has said "He's a fucking Nazi" or anything like that. But I do think that the questions that this revelation raises is definitely worthy of further investigation and exploration.
It seems very foolish to ignore or dismiss something as fundamental as this, simply because Bernie Sanders has anointed him with an endorsement. The primary process does NOT stop with an endorsement from Bernie Sanders, you do realize that, right?
It's wrong to try and characterize everything as "bashing" simply to try and squelch legitimate criticism and questions about what motivated this, and why he hasn't been more forthcoming about it prior to this; why he kept it for so long; and how it was that he can believably claim that he "had no clue" what it meant for all this time. These are evasive tactics and diversions that fail to address the things that people/voters deserve to know.
Honestly, it's a sign of weakness that tells me that such things cannot withstand fair and serious scrutiny.
