So slandering good companies who probably donated to BOTH parties makes you a hard hitting journalist? I think it just shows your myopic view of politics like most die-hard liberals I know. It seems to me that liberals are the ones who strive to stifle any kind of dissent that does not fit their point of view and shout down anyone speaking for the other side. Tolerance needs to go both ways!
Oh HAI troll!
I didn't call myself a hard hitting journalist - you did. In case you didn't notice, this is a blog. (Psst - that means I write in my free time).
The post is a list of donors for Rick Scott's specific inaugural event, not a political party;
Corporate sponsorship to both parties is usually an endeavor instilled by the interests of business alone and not of the people who will be affected.
Donations to Rick Scott will be criticized; To financially endorse a candidate who campaigned against environmental and business regulation after being investigated for the third highest gov. fraud case in US history implies a purely fiscal and selfish incentive.
So no, you don't get to be tolerant of intolerance. You do however get to blow me. How's that for hard hitting journalism?
I see. You are an amateur and resort to personal attacks when confronted and apparently need a girl/boy friend. I get it now.
And the original comment still stands - you are even more intolerant of those you accuse of intolerance.
Your "retort" is entirely an ad-hominem argument - which by definition is a logical fallacy unless you have somehow incurred a time machine and plan to become a sophist.
Although I do enjoy a fair deal of snark, I replied to every claim you had to say in your original comment. I have yet to see a critical response from you.
Game over.
