18. Having a strong but calm POV is something a few BoB's seem to tolerate even more poorly in

some groups than others.

I'm sorry but HRC's candidacy really has exposed misogyny and racism on the left.

Look at how utterly innocuous DSB's posts that were hidden are. What other long-time DU'ers have been hounded and then hidden for such obviously harmless posts? None. So ask yourself who hates with that kind of intensity? A bigot does.

And have you noticed how it's almost a requirement, when a self-described feminist speaks or posts among the hard-core BoB'ers that they feel compelled always to qualify their statements with "I am a feminist, BUT?"

I don't suggest for one red second that all or most, or even a large percentage of the people who liked and voted for SBS are bigoted or sexist; but by gosh, this primary season has been a real eye-opener to those elements lurking in the muddy, murky drainage pond of the left.
