not suggesting any of that. (none / 0)

Re: not suggesting any of that. (none / 1)

... in which case, it's a shame you picked such a threadbare example. If you were to have mentioned a catholic priest who publicly advocated paedophilia, then that would be comparable.

Or is your intention to "bury '68", à la Sarkozy? Or just to have a drive-by dig at DCB?

It wasn't catholic priests advocating (none / 0)

paedophilia. It was (some) german greens. Others, like DCB, were far more ambiguous in their statements on this subject than they ought have been.
