The racist thing is getting old.

It's time to consider litigation. This is libel, pure and simple. It makes my blood boil. He's accusing 50% of the people in this country of being racists. I think we could get a class action suit together that would put a stop to this kind of defamation once and for all. Turn the tables on him. Include as defendents all persons who make an accusation of racism against anyone who merely expresses an opinion or political preference. In other words, create a group who are allegedly guilty by association, just as they have done to us.

Racist (n): a person winning an argument with a liberal.

And today, since the liberals are losing every argument. That means everyone else is racist.

Mr Conason seems to be doing some politically correct hack work here. Sure there are bigots out there. Some may even be that way because of a nasty experience. This being dumped on because of their racial background. Others may be just plain prejudiced.

But for Joe, he knows this and I know this; there are certain places on this planet, that if he were to walk alone, he would be dumped on. Yes, seen as an overfed, overdressed, moneyed palooka. He might be lucky to walk away minus his wallet, his watch and whatever.

Come on Joe, a bit of balance, old chap.

I know how you feel. I have a friend, a man I’ve known for over 40 years, who tended to drop the Nazi analogy whenever he had no other reason for opposing a conservative. I finally called him on it and told him that name calling without facts to back it up meant he had lost the argument and was the equivalent of taking his ball and going home. I’m sure I didn’t change his views, but at least he doesn’t engage in the lazy liberal method of political discussion so readily.
