When you say everyone should be held to the same standard, are you saying that the one who advocated for violence should be considered less then the one who actually committed the violence.  Am I reading what you are saying correctly.

As to your second paragraph, who is judging someone less evil because they have less influence.  The question is does someone with more influence should be held to a higher standard.  With that statement, do you believe that if Trump advocated violence and violence was done in his name, only the people who committed the violence should be punished.

Just to give you a heads up. I'm done with this argument as I don't like banging my head against the wall over an argument that goes nowhere. It seems that people like you can't comprehend that all people should be held on the same standard of ethics. Someone has already given a much better explanation about this argument. So as people don't become hypocrites.

Now I would appreciate it if you don't quote or reply to me again regarding this matter. Thanks.

Who is arguing with you.  I have not made one statement that says I agree or not agree with your statement but asked for clarification.  Did you even read the questions I ask or did you just ignore it because you do not want to support your opinion.  So you will still not answer my question.  I asked pretty specific questions to you because I do not care what someone else stated unless I responded to them.  You can ignore this question again but here goes, if someone promote violence and someone commits violence in that person names are all parties equally to blame.

Either way, if you make another comment on the subject or in this thread, I may or may not response to you.  There is pretty much nothing you can do about it but ignore it.  Why make comments if you are not willing to defend them.  I guess if you believe your opinion is right then you can take that stance.  Nothing shows arrogance then not willing to defend your opinion.
