This is a man who is in favour of the death penalty. Men died on 'his watch'.
"... all human beings have equal value..."
Just sayin' like.

Despite disagreeing with the death penalty
I don't see any moral or philosophical contradiction in being anti-nazi and pro-death penalty.

Then I assume you will never utter the words "... all human beings have equal value..."

It still is not a contradiction
Holding an individual accountable for their actions is not the same as condemning them for their colour or religion. To take your argumement reductio ad absurdum if all humans are of equal value none should be punished for their actions. You are conflating individual human value with humans with free will accountable for actions. And wrongly so.

Tell me, were you ever sent out of class
for sticking pencils in your nostrils and barking like a seal?

Listen, I don't want to be part of your twisted fantasies.
And no, I will not dress up like a seal.

Still one of my favourite gifs of all time.
But who would have thought that he'd no longer be the shittest President? I thought it might have taken 80, maybe 100 years? Truly we live in an age of wonder.

Eeeep.
I got worryingly close to agreeing with you there, but your use of the reductio ad absurdum doesn't quite work, so that saved me.
You were right up to that point, though.

It is entirely correct
Did I really need to say something like 'all humans are equal so no one should have to pay parking fines'.

edit: It is wrong to deny the moral force of an argument because you dispute the use of rhetorical description. Socrates would fucking eat you.

I didn't deny the moral force of the argument, you utter tit.
I was explicit that I agreed with you; the only minor quibble that your reductio doesn't quite work. Because it doesn't.

Not my argument ... It was Arnie that said it. I personally don't believe that everyone is equal and I would be more than happy to throw the switch on certain individuals. I'm no moralist.

Absolutely no back-pedalling from me. I was merely commenting that your contention that the speech was 'good' was basically a load of shite, if in fact you meant it, and pointed part of that out. I certainly could not give a fuck what a bad actor, and a misogynist who could trump Trump, has to say about, well ... about anything I s'pose. Or, indeed, any of the Libtards on B3ta.
