We appear to have found bipartisan agreement that Democrats shouldn’t inquire about or target Amy Coney Barrett’s faith. Which... fine. But what I have yet to see is any meaningful sign that Dems were going to or are doing that

The closest I’ve seen is a piece in the Times with a trolly headline by... Liz Bruenig. Who is Catholic.

Meanwhile it’s provided Republicans a great opportunity to tweet anti-Semitic shit like this. Soooo... maybe Dems can stop tweeting about this and just focus on ACB’s awful politics and unprincipled ambition.https://twitter.com/VoteMarsha/status/1309482749925961728 …

This seems like a "no true Scotsman" argument. He supports Democratic politician with regularity and is alignment with Dems on most issues. Even stuff liberals don't like -- his Islamophobia & sexism -- is not unknown among liberals.

I don't think it's no trust Scotsman to point out that if your first example is a Libertarian Anne Coulter fan, perhaps it's not worth the large number of tweets you've written about how the Dems and Liberals are making a big mistake going after Coney Barrett's religion!

But to be clearer: My point is that you're treating what is not a real problem as if it is a real problem, and in the process doing the GOP's work for them in continuing to pretend that Democrats are likely to attack Barrett's faith when it's very clear they won't.

I've said several times that the Biden campaign is rightly focused on Barrett's policies (especially on health care & Roe). But I don't think Biden's media allies have shown the same message discipline.

That is true but because i've never seen you provide examples unless pressed, you're inadvertantly carrying water for a right wing talking point. It is a very small, not particularly influential group that's doing the thing you're describing.

Anyway, I don't mean to pick on you here! There's lots of people doing this, your tweet just happened to be the one I saw this AM.
