re: #212 wrenchwench

Here’s a response to this that really bugs me. The Wall Street Journal’s editorial says,

They are saying he’s being picked on for being conservative. In this context, it sounds like they are equating being a conservative with being a racist, because the complaints about him are about race, not politics.

They ARE equating those kinds of race-baiting remarks with being a conservative. And it’s not just the Wall Street Journal — I’ve received numerous hate mails over this issue accusing me of being a “liberal” because I called out Limbaugh for his race-baiting. And in this very thread, one of the flouncers made the same comparison.

They’re attempting to excuse these comments as some kind of mild political incorrectness, and smear the critics as “liberals” who are too easily offended.

It’s completely insane.
