re: #40 Charles Johnson

I remember when ranting about “race war” was for only the fringiest of wackos. People like Charles Manson.

Now Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and Fox News are mainlining this crap into the veins of the right wing base 24/7. It’s easy to snark about it, but it’s horrible.

That’s why I get so antsy about where conservatives are headed. I’ve been seeing people who I thought we’re grounded in reality starting to drop bigoted comments like it’s no big deal.

I had a long-time friend the other day straight out tell me he no longer goes to a local movie theater because, I shit you not, “There’s too many black people there.”

I thought by the time my generation was pushing 50, we’d be past this stuff. Now I see the ones coming up behind me saying shit worse than my grandparents ever did.
