re: #248 iceweasel

But this is the issue. Your insistence that these words are ‘calling actual cases of it what it is’. How is it possible for you not to see that this is the same justification used by any bigot to justify his own use of such words?

Excellent! now we are getting somewhere.

Let me take your examples and show you what I mean.

Jews are ok— but that Maddoff, is criminal scum who betrayed his own people —-.

Black people are dandy! Those gangstas though—they’re fucking barbarians.

I love women! Just not those gutter sluts on Fox - or any other woman who tries to promote an evil agenda through her sexuality.

How does calling Foxs News women ‘gutter sluts’ advance the cause of women’s rights?

By calling ugly things what they are, it leaves less room for people to equivocate or rationalize evil behavior.

If you think Fox news is bad for women’s rights, and they are, it’s because they push a misogynistic agenda (anti-woman policies).

Agreed.

Not because they have ‘gutter sluts’ hosting their show, or because women ‘use their sexuality’ to sell that agenda.

ON the contrary the barbies they use are absolutely part of pushing that image and agenda.

Re: bolded: I don’t think that’s all we’re disagreeing about now. BTW, I overuse the word ‘just’ a lot, FYI.

Indeed. For the record, I truly respect you and have always liked you. We are disagreeing. VERY strongly.
