re: #259 Talking Point Detective
I feel a bit differently about Farrakhan, as I do about someone like Pat Robertson: they do have a significant impact on issues.
Honestly, my immediate reaction is that the reaction to Farrakhan is more disproportionate than the reaction to Robertson. Clearly, Robertson influences exponentially more people - but I need to think more whether my viewpoint there is colored by my political orientation.
Fair enough.
Funny thing is, I used to be more tolerant about these things.
A years of LGF and I find myself less tolerant of any kind of bigotry, from the right or the left.
There isn’t a single example of really bad acts that have not been preceded by really bad rhetoric.
