Reply #27: How bout Affable? [View All]

[SteelPenguin]

I think when people say decent, what they mean is affable.

They're not saying he's a saint, or that they agree with his positions. They're saying that when you meet him, or when he's chatting on a show, he seems like a nice guy. He'd shake your hand, and smile, and offer you a beer. He comes off, particularly if you don't know squat about him, like he's a nice normal friendly guy, who actually cares.

THAT is why he's dangerous. Because you're right. He's not a decent guy. He's a stone cold religious zealot lunatic shithead. Just an affable one.
