      You...really....expect me to believe you've never treated conservatives as bearing any responsibility for association with people who do not share conservative ideology, but who associate with Republican politicians or infiltrate conservative movement orgs? Really?

      I have literally years of writing on God’s green internet so feel free to show me an example of when I attacked conservatives on the basis of “tribal association” versus an actual statement or argument.

      1. I'm legit amazed you lack the self-awareness, or at least the candor, to admit this instead of asking me to play assignment desk on your old tweets, given how many of them you deleted. Having other things to do, I can of course offer a few quick examples of the blunderbuss.pic.twitter.com/m7oupFvrEf

      What I like about this response is that I asked "Show me an example of me categorizing conservatives on the basis of tribal affiliation" and what you have shown me are a headline (of a piece that doesn't do that) and some tweets (which don't do that).

      ...and now I see why you deleted the Tweet referencing Richard Spencer https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/05/why-richard-spencer-matters.html …pic.twitter.com/I38Cv6cHc7

      Serious question, did you even read the piece? Can you read? Because I just reread that column and it doesn't actually do what you're accusing me of doing.

      It argues specifically that Spencer matters because white supremacist activity says something about the national political climate. (Dropping Jane from this Twitter canoe)pic.twitter.com/4r93V1Wc87

      It argues specifically that Spencer matters because the national political climate contains greater space for him and people like him to act. Are you capable of rendering anything accurately?

      I'm content for the readers to judge for themselves, hence the link. That's the entire point of these sorts of arguments on Twitter. I would never expect to convince you of anything.

      I am not getting how this proves your point. I don't think Bouie is saying it is inappropriate to criticize individuals or groups on the left if and when they are too receptive to someone like Farrakhan

      Real talk: Louis Farrakhan and his movement are fundamentally right-wing in their worldview, BUT ALSO part of the American political Left & not the Right (both as broadly defined), courted & accepted for many years by Democratic politicians, not Republican ones. No spinning that. https://twitter.com/TPM/status/956607214671757313 …

          I think the distinction is between criticizing specific individuals and organizations for their own actions or inactions vs tarring liberalism, leftism (or conservatism) as a whole.

          And yet, his argument was limited exclusively to "his ideology is not progressive" which I don't dispute. My grounds for criticizing Farrakhan is precisely that prominent leaders in the blue tribe have embraced him as one of their own.
