re: #176 Killgore Trout

Good points.

Which is what Ed is missing in his post. Although I’ll give him partial credit for not endorsing it, his confusion about why Confederate Celebration month is coming back now is easily answered. Ed is still in denial about the racist elements on the right. There’s a reason why Confederate flags and racist signs show up at Tea Parties. Hot Air is filled with racist comments, they publish RS McCain’s writtings and used to be owned by Michelle Malkin. That’s why Republican politicians think it’s time to revive the Confederacy. Ed just hasn’t come to terms with that yet.

And neither have some readers of LGF. It’s a hard and very painful thing to do, I’m in pain every time I read about the racism rampant in the right wing right now.

It isn’t that all right-wingers are racist loons - but there are many decent people refusing to recognize how widespread this stuff is and demand that these elements be made unwelcome.
