well, at least the right guy started this thread.

At least your posts are consistently meaningful.
What stood out to you, Darrin?
i was congratulating you for finding a race card article.......instead of you, yourself, bringing up race.
its a new angle for you.![]()
If you read the article, Hitchens doesn't single out liberals' use of the race card. I think the article is fair.
you should take this under consideration, darrin.It would be or ought to be dangerous if we ever get to the point where the charge of racism becomes so overused and hackneyed as to be meaningless. Such a term ought to retain its potency as a weapon of shame and disapproval.
I read it. I was just wondering if you did. You say you noticed his evenhandedness. I doubt that's all you noticed.
What else stood out to you?
one thing should be easy for him to answer.
irony just seems to go over some people's heads.
That's just the sort of question Darrin prefers to dodge. I'd be expecting either no answer at all or a question in response.
Darrin's total lack of self-awareness is one of the minor miracles of this board. He treats us to a chuckle on pretty much a daily basis.
that he does.
Your ilk always wants to make the thread about the person who started it, instead of the content of the thread.
Oh well.
Which comment? You didn't say.
I'll discuss anything you want to Darrin. Start anywhere.

That's entirely my point of bringing up these issues. I never call libs racists, but I point out their overuse of the race card.
Has this very subtle message from the state-contolled media gone unnoticed:
"Tea Party = racists"
(Darrin complains that the content gets short shrift, but he actually prefers the flame war too.)
Do you have any opinion of the article that doesn't include some snarky comment about me?
A huge number of liberals have already decided that in some way Muslims cons ute a race of their own, or at any rate that criticism of their religion can be construed as "racist." (The fact that the Quran contains many racist observations about Jews will mean that this card can and will be used to turn an almost infinite number of tricks. Still, I predict that liberals will regret handing Muslims such a handy alibi for any criticism of their faith.)

You overuse it too. Your lack of self-awareness is showing again.
What a relief. Since the media is state-controlled, all we need to is elect Republicans to correct its current biases.
I knew you'd love that one.

You shouldn't thump such a weak chest -- it might cave in.
Islamophobia belongs in the class of religious bigotry, not racism. Hitchens's conceit that liberals conflate it with racism is dubious bordering on braindead.
OTOH, there's very little doubt that Islamophobia becomes generalized as a su ion of people with"middle eastern" looks and names. Islamophobia makes the connection with racism all on its own, without any help at all from unkind liberals and leftists.
You can't control yourself, can you?
