Are you playing games now or just being obtuse? Maybe "harbor" was not the best word. How "attract" or "welcome"? Is that better? . But you knew that already, didn't you?Just a statement of factThat's rich considering that you just said that the Republican party "harbors racists".
As in, the Republican party gives them asylum or something?
You cited the logical fallacy of the appeal to hypocrisy so let me cite one you are guilty of:
Dicto simpliciter (spoken simply, i.e., sweeping generalization). This is the fallacy of making a sweeping statement and expecting it to be true of every specific case -- in other words, stereotyping. Example: "Women are on average not as strong as men and less able to carry a gun. Therefore women can't pull their weight in a military unit." The problem is that the sweeping statement may be true (on average, women are indeed weaker than men), but it is not necessarily true for every member of the group in question (there are some women who are much stronger than the average).
Except Bud, that did not say that all republicans are racists. I said that the Republican Party HARBORS racists. Not saying that they are all the same.
And I asked, as in asylum or what? Giving aid and comfort to the enemy? Providing bed and board? What? What exactly do you mean the Republican party "harbors" racists?
You're the one who said harbor, not me. I'm just trying to understand how that word applies and why you used it. If that is being obtuse then so be it.
So, you say the Republican party "attracts" or "welcomes" racists. Let's run with that. So what significance does that have for other Republicans?
