>>As far as I know there is not a right or wrong to offense just a matter of fact, either a person is offended or he is not<<
So the African American libs had a reason to be offended by the song or were they just using that to stir up trouble? Eventhough finding an offense in it is hard to do?
And is it correct to come into a discussion on Rush’s bigotry and use “Barack the Magic Negro” as an example of it?
I imagine there are many liberals who took no offense at the black journalist's coining the term but then took great offense at the term being repeated by a person they loathe. In which case the offense was not the term but the very existence of someone hated.
I cannot judge offense taken as right or wrong. It is what it is.
But I can and do judge hate as wrong.
Indeed, the very sight of Bush waving and smiling might be an offense to those suffering from "Bush Derangement Syndrome." Hate in their case was making them sick.
Of a truth, not many have a judicial temperament allowing them in the normal course of a day to separate the matter from the person as we Christians learn to do (I Cor 6:1-8, Matthew 7).
