If you can't figure that out, then you're just too lazy to find a better word to call someone who doesn't agree with your opinions about the vaunted PREZBO.
At least when you're talking to me, you're the only one talking about Obama. I don't give a fig about Obama in this conversation, just your absolutely looney, offensive idea that the word "racist" is the same as the "N" word. You know what I'm too lazy to find a better word for? Racists. So "racist" will do. It has nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with calling racists what they are.

Of course I dont think its on the same level as calling a black person the "n" word.. but both parties get offended when being called those terms.

I think that is what she was referring to.
Yea, you know who especially hates being called a racist? Racists. Just like you may be aware of the people who especially hate being called homophobes are? The most hateful homophobes out there take the biggest offense from it.

And all this "oh it's the same thing" trash is just a great way to try to turn racism back around on the people who are calling it out and trying to marginalize them by making *them* look like the crazy ones. To somehow say that you can't be a racist if you don't wear a hood or belong to the Aryan Nation is positively ridiculous....much like 97% of the words Doreen has posted in this thread in an attempt to excuse racism.

Truth

And the most hateful homophobes often are closeted gays.

BWS - I wish I could get angry at you, but the only emotion I can come up with is pity. You're too full of hatred yourself which makes you think everyone else suffers from the same emotion.

I've always thought it was clear that saying you pity someone is the same as calling someone the N word...I can't believe you did that.

The fact that you equate descriptive words used to describe a person's actions with those words used to marginalize entire groups of people for hundreds of years is hilarious...or it would be if it wasn't so pathetic. I assume you think the words "talkative," "thoughtful," and "friendly" are the same as the N word too? Because they are no different than the word "racist." They are descriptors used to describe someone....and Doreen, if the shoe fits, wear it.

I'm not here to try and chip through your cubic yard of cerebral concrete. You have your opinions and views on the ills of America, and I have mine. But, you really are a very hateful person, and you should seek professional attention.

You're hilarious...and probably way further off the rocker than I gave you credit for last night, if you think that my wondering about the fact that you give the N-word and the word "racist" equal billing in the hate category makes *me* hateful.

You'd probably be pretty hard-pressed to spell that one out and make a good case for tagging me with that word. At best, you're a pathetic apologist for racists everywhere, at worst...well, at worst it's much worse than that.

Speaking as someone who has family who does need professsional attention, I think you need to look in the mirror. The hate starts with the a-holes you listen to....I'm glad you have formed your own opinion about why the Health Care bill sucks..oh yeah...because it doesn't help YOU...lol
