re: #296 Obdicut

What? You don’t think Brietbart is a racist?

Seriously?

Is this the ‘maybe he’s not a racist, maybe he just constantly race-baits’ thing?

I think calling people out as racist without supporting evidence other than innuendo is what started this whole mess to begin with. People need to put the “racist” name calling on the back burner. For 2 years now every critic of the administration has been labelled a racist, it’s unfair, counter-productive, and leads to push back like this where an innocent woman gets caught in the crossfire. The whole racist meme is, IMHO, why the administration was so quick to toss this lady under the bus.

I have been called a racist on this board for political views that differ from the left side of the aisle without one shred of evidence, without anyone knowing me, knowing who my friends are, or even knowing anything about my family. Calling someone a racist is just as ugly as calling the president a Nazi.
