Who said I hated the guy? I think he is ridiculous. I think he’s pitiful, but any pity I might have for him is tempered by the damage he willingly does by continuing to hold office.
I’m pretty confused by your argument at this point, your first jab at me was for misinterpreting your post as calling for sympathy for Rob Ford, then you’ve gone on to write a few 1500 word essays arguing I don’t get how subtle and nuanced the whole political situation is because I’m too young to remember Nixon and Hitler and Shakespeare, and while its not really about sympathy or empathy for Ford, its about Toronto, and I should totally feel more sympathy and empathy for Ford.
I feel like your agenda is hidden, and I didn’t feel like that earlier in our discussion.
I hold public servants in high station to a higher level of moral accountability than the general population, and this is a common view and indeed an important one. I reject your vaguely asserted argument that this is dangerous. Conservatives aren’t somehow buoyed by my ridicule. They are quite naturally buoyant.
