re: #520 Killgore Trout
Bullshit. I’m personally appalled by the blatant racism I see on right wing sites and at the Tea Parties. Even more appalled at the silence from the other conservatives.
I feel most bloggers and news outlets play up the divisive stuff for ratings and that the view of the world through the computer or TV is a very narrow one indeed.
Charles/LGF is an exception most of the time (although he does like to get a rise out of idolitarians of all stripes).
Our basic disagreement is over how far and deep racism goes in various groups. I spend a lot more of my time dealing with politics, bureaucracy and people in a n extremely diverse population and I find my real world experience wit these issues is much more heartening for how people feel about each other than what I see in the media (MSM, Blogs or other).
I linked a survey done by a news outlet you don’t trust, but what I find interesting is that I didn’t editorialize, I asked if it had been discussed. I actually thought you could defend your position with some of the data and the differences in perceptions between blacks/whites, dems/gopers.
