I’ve got to get something off my chest. This will be short, but not sweet.
Since when did we decide that it is okay to blame someone for the actions of their parents, if they happen to be on the Other Side? Or for the sins of their children? Or their spouse?
There is a diary on the Rec List that talks about Trump’s father being a member of the KKK. The story is from 1927, BEFORE TRUMP WAS EVEN BORN. And yet, this is somehow supposed to be a black mark against Trump himself.
And yet, when a news person tried to tie Huma Abedin to the actions of her spouse, people on this site went crazy. (As they should have.)
Look, there is more than enough out there to put at the feet of Donald Trump. But to throw up a story about his father and gleefully claim that it says something about Trump himself is wrong. It is unfair. And it is beneath the standards that we should be following in our political dialogue.
