I visit LGF every day, but rarely post.

"They speak of Arabs and Muslims in much the same ways that a racist southerner would speak of blacks in the 1950s."

Says who? Sour grapes here.

The excerpt doesn't do it justice because it contains links to posts, but check it out.

I rarely post on LGF as well, but really found the piece well written and researched. It's worth checking out and touches on some points.

Same here...
...and I agree with you.

Selective cut 'n paste copying of comments from a website can be tailored to make the site, and its denizens, appear to belong to almost any despised group you wish to lambaste.

In reality, the dialog going on is more like what you'd overhear on a worksite, or at the watercooler- sure, some is rough, inflammatory, or edgy-- but most of the other members will call down the nastier ones.

In my opinion, what you get from forums like FR, or the "comments" of blogs, is a lot more normal, and true-to-life, than the "nuanced" and overly PC junk you see parroted in the MSM.

I call it "speaking plainly," and in my view, there's nothing wrong with that.
