I’d like to sign up, but your list is too long. Can you come up with a magnetic ribbon or something to symbolize your views?

I hear that purple is a denounce-y color. Unfortunately, Alzheimer’s Disease, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, Huntington’s disease, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Autism, Animal abuse, Arnold-Chiari Malformation, Eating Disorders, Gastrointestinal Cancers, Pancreatic cancer and cancer survival all beat me to it. But I do denounce all of those.

I worked for Ambassador Rawson (in Mali), who was the ambassador to Rwanda, and who actually was the person who refused to acknowledge that there was a brewing disaster in the country. Once the violence began, it was too late for American intercession to prevent it. African forces finally arrived and stopped the mayhem. Rawson was the failure point and should have been terminated for his lack of insight or action.

Do you denounce or don’t you? Pick something to denounce! It’s fun and easy to do at home.

Denunciations for fun and profit! It slices, it dices, it makes Julienne fries… try it today. 100% guaranteed or your money back!

I intended this thread to point out the stupidity of equating a lack of immediate denouncement as somehow agreement with the actions or as an indication of political bias. I also wanted to stay abreast of all the things I need to denounce done by Democrats before I am allowed to denounce things done by Republicans. In that sense, the OP was meant to start a discussion about the necessity of denouncing things Democrats do. I also want to make sure I have the complete list of things I should denounce, so that I can express my opinion on political issues.

I also like denouncing.

You know, policy and politics aside, I just plain never liked the Clintons. So…

Hey now, there’s lots of us Pubbies 'round here.

Some of us are just Republicans who are going to vote for Obama is all.

And I denounce Democrats who sell Obama as far more leftist and liberal than he actually is (and McCain as much less of a liberal than he actually is); I still say do the research, know your candidate and vote your conscence, screw the party line.

Surely to god you didn’t try to drink that stuff did you?

It was a joke, a bitter and alcoholic joke.
