re: #85 Gus

I don’t have any problem with calling the Saudi Royal family oil ticks. It’s not racist to do so, either— they’re not a race. They’re a bunch of assholes who exploit their own people.

It’s obviously wrong if it’s used for Arabs in general, but I haven’t seen any evidence that Charles ever used it in a general way.

There was a lot in the old LGF that crossed the line, in my opinion. Some of it involved alliding the extremists of Islam with mainstream Islam. But, well, that ended, not just ended, but swung around completely. I’m not sure what’s supposed to be bad about that.

Would it have been better if Charles hadn’t ever been wrong on AGW, for example? Sure. But that can’t really be fixed now.
