Bill, I agree that Bob has been rude and crude and I've posted that opinion more than once but I can't see how you could possibly defend Fairweather on this issue. He is in the top 1% of rude and crude on cc.com and he's posted all kinds of belligerent stuff that sounds like racism to me over the years. Again, Bob too scores high marks in the rude and crude collumn and I think it is all a rather distasteful business but Fairweather has been going after him as a homo commie who should go back to the old country so he pretty much deserves whatever flame he gets, doesn't he?
Matt - I would like you, Kevbone, or GGK to show where I've posted anything racist on this board--ever. Anything. You can't. Have I bashed on countries like Canada and Poland? Sure. But last time I checked that isn't racism--and the folks that inhabit those nations, for the most part, look a lot like you and me. Have I used the n-word like GGK, Tvash, and so many others often have? Never. I believe you and others are imprinting your wild hatred of conservatives--or Fairweather himself--into your stereotype and making assumptions that just aren't true (My thanks to Bill for noting this). I expect behavior like this from GGK and Kevbone, but not from a "moderator". Bitter about our health care discussion? No problem. Name calling? Not an issue. Rude and Crude and belligerent? (Like TTK's comments about the new VP's 'dumb kids'?) All part of Spray. But publically breaking out the racist card without ANYTHING to back it with is intellectually weak, at best. I think many here should examine the brushes with which they paint regarding race, and certain moderators should reevaluate their standards in this regard. Matt, if you can show where I've ever made racist comments on this website (or anywhere!!) then you should ban me. Additionally, you should take note of oft-ignored racist comments of those here with which you are ideologically aligned. And, oh yea--Fuck Off.
FW....if I called you a racist, I am sorry. I dont know you and really have nothing to back that up. Even if we dont agree.....
