r9etb, prehaps you can, with some finality, retract the comment about "neocon" = "jew-boy communists" in the eyes of those who use the term? Actually, I can't really retract it because, having read enough from those who use the term (see again Mr. Buchanan), I believe there are many who actually hold that view. Had I not believed it, I wouldn't have said it.
It apparently doesn't apply to OWK or Jolly Rodgers, so I will happily apologize to them specifically.
That said, can we get off the topic, and your refereeing of it, and return to the cowardly French?

Tell me if I've misunderstood. You're going to let stand a bigoted comment, which you concede falsely accuses at least some people of bigotry, and amend it on an apologize-as-you-go basis?
Suppose someone actually said "neocons are jew-boy communists," and offered to periodically grant specific exceptions?
I don't think the latter approach is acceptable, nor is yours.
