Captain Ewok - an idea to help with moderation

[HAL 9000 96]

just like everyone who's bigoted is a rwn.

Why does it seem that's the case?

I mean I know the GOP sort of has a dominion on fear and paranoia and all... but really, if you take stats on who says what... the ones doing the hatin are usually of a certain inclination without much fail.

The bigots on the right are making a lot more noise right now. Most of the bigotry we see in the media today is from the right. Maybe it's because they're in the opposition. We all remember BDS, derangement is a common symptom of electoral dysfunction.

things have transitioned into nowadays, just saying you're a republican is translated by some into zomg it's a card carrying kkk member!

and sometimes, the ones doing the hating are left wing plants.

Naah. I like Governor Christie and I've made no secret of that. I don't think Governor Schwarzenegger's a racist either. Neither is ex-Governor Crist.

Palin, however, is. Did you see her rah-rah-ing Dr. Laura's use of the N-word? Despicable. And like it or not, of the R's I mentioned, which one gets more airtime? You got it.

Could be true. I guess we need to be vigilant on context to be accurate in our statistical roundup.

there's been a few stories on vj about those plants.

there's been a few stories on vj about those plants.

and yet, to dismiss all racism from the conservative movement as left-wing plants would be an act of complacency.

so how soon till a moderator jumps in and locks all three of us out of this thread?

yup.

Provocateurism is widespread on all sides of the debate.

Anyway... lets not get banned from this thread

as is dismissing all racism as being strictly from the conservative movement would be an act of complacency.

Meh, I dunno...saying someone is coming across as 'ignorant' and 'academically lazy' doesn't seem like a personal attack. Do we need to be that insulated that we can't deal with a difference of opinion? Sure, you say 'hey, you bA$TARD, I hope you DIAF &*&(*&()*&^^&()_%!!!!" that's a personal attack, but the former? imo, not so much.

Btw, did not see the thread in Q.

BBtw, went to edit, and half my post disappeared! #######!
