:rolleyes:

Nope, as you demonstrate later:

> [@Hank\_Beecher](#):
>
> He has heavily pandered to an ignorance laden movement with his advocacy and implementation of GMO labeling, as well as his alternative medicine quackery. The anti-GMO movement is responsible for the deaths and disabilities of millions of African and Indian children from starvation and malnutrition. And here you are more concerned that Arpaio’s deputies pulled over a brown American dude to find out if he was legal. It’s these kinds of whacked priorities that cause more and more of us to want no association at all with most lefties any more.

And yes, no thanks accepted from you then, because I already posted this before in another thread to reply to about your sorry attempt there at twisting the actual positions of a candidate.

> I’m afraid that regarding the anti-GMO item your sources have passed you only part of the whole truth. Sanders is only in favor of labeling, but regarding the use of GMOs [what he said was]" It is not my view, nor have I suggested, that GMO food causes health problems." From an [AMA](https://www.reddit.com/r/iama/comments/36j690/i_am_senator_bernie_sanders_democratic_candidate/creg5lk?context=1) in Reddit.

So yes, I don’t expect you to change your sorry rhetoric, but I expect many others to see how bad your ignorance is and how dumb then that bit of yours about “It’s these kinds of whacked priorities that cause more and more of us to want no association at all with most lefties any more.” was based on ignorance and bad sources.
