Race and all,

I haven’t had time to read up on this yet tonight... I’m preparing to do so right now. I just wanted to get back to you right away — I wasn’t trying to impugn the research you’ve done. As I said, I’m not aware of it, but I will read about it after this post as I said I would in my original post on the thread.

I ONLY had a problem with what sounded like people trying to use a fundraising post on a racist website as “proof” of someone’s association with them.

The reason this got ME so upset is because I once found something I wrote on that website doing a Google search, and I will say right now — I completely abhor all of their racist beliefs, and think they are the scum of the Earth to think that the color of someone’s skin, or what religion they belong to automatically makes them inferior. It’s absolutely disgusting to me that people are stupid enough to think that way.

It makes me shudder to think that I would be told that I was involved with the group simply because someone liked what I expressed in an article, and that person happened to be a racist scumbag, and they happened to decide to share it with their scumbag friends.

It would be like saying if one of our Vanity posts here showed up over at DU that meant the author was a member/follower/zombie from DU!

I hope you get how I’m seeing this particular “slice” of the whole story. It’s clear I’m not understanding the big picture of the article itself, or how you are involved yourself. I will rectify that now by reading more.

As I said in my original post — what I brought up was not meant to defend any one person, nor group. It was simply to point out that just because something appears on a website it doesn’t mean the author, or in this case, the recipient is aware and endorsing it. OK?

Am going to go check all the links now so I can understand better where you are all coming from...
