Same practical plane, therefore you’d be indifferent between a party with no squishes and one with no bigots? Yikes.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1204605416619073536 …
Not really a full & fair rendering of Douglass' writing on the topic, and again, I'm not arguing against criticism of one's friends. Once Douglass came around, he remained a lifelong loyal Republican. He broke with Sumner in 1872 to stay pro-Grant despite all the scandals.

Well, I didn't realize we were talking about full and fair readings. I thought we were indicting whole publications based on one article (one I will defend on its merits) because it didn't help construct a political coalition.

My quarrel is not with any one column or specific criticism - though some of the specific criticisms are quite silly & others not specific at all - but with the a priori identification of Haley & others like her in the GOP as foes to be fought.
