Hell must have frozen over, I just gained some respect for Ms Ocasio Cortez

Posted by Jeff Rosen on Fri Jul 24 10:42:16 2020

I still disagree with her on almost every issue but I found her speech condemning Congressman Yoyo Yoho was spot on, well thought out and excellent.

No sarcasm. What Yoho was in poor taste but he attempted to apologize. What Cortez did was bring the gutter into the halls of congress. I'm certainl th not impressed.

Yoho was the one who brought the gutter into the halls of Congress simply by being a member of Congress and attacking another member in that way. He's not Preston Brooks, but it's still bad.

he made his inappropriate comments on the outside steps to congress. She brought it inside.

Your chronology is incorrect.

1. Mr. Yoho's remarks were made on the Capitol steps. It was overheard by a reporter who wrote about it in an article that appeared on the web.

2. It was Mr. Yoho, who decided to bring the incident into the House. He decided to make an apology on the House floor.

3. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez decided not to accept the apology that Mr. Yoho made on the House floor. She gave her refusal reasons on the House floor.

For the same reason that a Rabbi or a priest isn't going to talk about the cheap fucking congregants who don't contribute enough. The language is inappropriate. Then again, she is a disgrace to the institution.

The rabbi talks about people who don’t donate all the time, just doesn’t mention them by name.

There’s no point arguing this further as we clearly have a philosophical difference regarding language. I don’t subscribe to the idea that there are words that must never be spoken lest horrible things happen.* If someone says something bad, and you want to quote him, that’s on the original speaker, not the quoter.

*IOW, if a movie has someone saying “fuck” 500 times, but no violence, or sex, it should be rated “G”.

Any representation of US history they hate. It's just like what the Communist Manifesto says:
"In bourgeois society, then, the past controls the present; in communist society, the present controls the past."
A never-ending present in which the Communist Party is always right. The USA was founded upon love and justice; a communist society is founded on hatred.

I think that people in this country have too much of a respect for apologies. Apologize and be forgiven. I see no problem with refusing to forgive. Thus, even if yohoho had made a sincere apology, AOC would not be obligated to accept it.

I have zero still. maybe if she didn't pal around with terror supporters.

I could have liked her. It would be nice for someone to stick to what they know, and fight for the working poor or something, instead of being an expert in all things, and then singling out the Jews along with it.
For example. This pandemic has exposed a lot of people to be frauds in this respect, conservative pundits and ultra-leftist tripping over each other to leave their area's of expertise to give us their wrong analysis on everything. I see this in her too.

The Sages have an expression for this, "those wise in their own eyes". If she stuck to what she knew instead of going into congressional hearings, and lecturing Doctors about medical procedures......oy!

I dont know that they ever were. Yoho claims that he never said that which was attributed to him. She says otherwise. She has lied in the past about the immigration detention conditions. I'm sure Yoho has told a fib or two in 30 years. So we choose sides based on less than all the facts. Life as usual.
