In your view of the world, is it possible to care for someone deeply enough that even though you don't agree with them completely, you still care for them and won't throw them under the bus on anyone's say-so?

Or do you think that someone -- and their friends -- has to be holier than Jesus or they're just another raging hypocrite?

Show us one, ONE, divisive thing in that speech. Show us just one place where he's exploiting fear, racism, or ignorance. Then show us how he's not trying to get us to acknowledge that race is still a major issue in this country and that we need to address it by listening across the divide and taking small steps to fix it.

What does it say about his character that he's unwilling to throw his friend and mentor to the wolves just because people like you say he should?

Would I get an accurate picture of your character if I found out that you, say, had a bill go to collections once? Should I conclude from that incident alone that you're an untrustworthy person who should never be believed? Or even that such a one as you should be banned from using credit forever?

It's darkly humorous to watch people say they know everything about a person because of what someone associated to that person said. Have you no shame, sir, at long last?
