Reply #160: You're not making much sense. [View All]

It's not a knee jerk reaction if it's understandable, now is it? It's not the you not agreeing with it that's getting to me. That I can sort of see. It's not a good idea to throw objects at a head of state. It's your blanket condemnation of everyone here on DU who does. If you sympathize with the man, and can understand why he did what he did even though you don't agree with it, then why doesn't it follow that you can understand why DUers would agree with it? Why would you consider that a kneejerk reaction? That makes no sense. Your response only kind of reaffirms what I initially thought when I read your OP. You're looking for something to disapprove of on DU, something that you consider yourself above. But it's not a kneejerk reaction to support the actions of a man who has been driven to the brink. It's not kneejerk to be sympathetic to his cause. It's totally and completely understandable. Just as you said so yourself.
