I've been seeing this guy for longer than I care to remember. He never called out Bush Jr. for lying us into an endless war for oil, or stood up to racist attacks against Obama.
Proof that they only scream when they are getting stabbed themselves.

Look at the old time abolitionists. People today try to paint them all as morally driven saints. The fact is that a lot of the opposition to slavery came from Northern capitalists who were mad they couldn't have slaves in their factories. Other opponents were tradesmen who couldn't compete with the slaveowners who rented out their slave carpenters and blacksmiths.
