ShoCon: Give Nuxoll A Break

Shoshone Conservative (re: Trib: Idaho senator may need help): Remember, all she did was share a link on Facebook. People are making it out like she’s presenting a formal proposal to the Senate calling for something like this. And misinterpreting Constitutional amendments isn’t a capital sin - judges do it all the time. That’s why we have appellate courts. ... Generally, when the media focuses on trivial garbage like this, there’s something important going on they don’t want us to pay attention to. But Sheryl needs to realize that an elected official should be careful about what she posts on Facebook.

DFO: I don't think it's "trivial garbage" that an Idaho state senator would buy into this nonsense. Even posting a link to a strange theory like this shows a world-view that's not mainstream, even in uberconservative Idaho.

Question: Do the links that you re-post on your Facebook page/Twitter account reflect your thinking?
