re: #156 FemNaziBitch

Imagine you do not know the context, and are not a Colbert viewer and being totally ignorant of the background … .insert the n-word for the Ching-Chong, Ding-Dong and tell me how you would react?

This would have been me when I read the tweet.

I agree that if you read it completely out of context, it comes across as insensitive. But the context is that Stephen Colbert has been satirizing this kind of right wing nonsense for 10 years now. Shouldn’t he have the benefit of the doubt?

Rush Limbaugh is exactly the opposite. He’s the real thing, racist to his core, and if he said something like this it would not have been satire.

The difference is huge, IMO.
