It's pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain cell that Sean Delonas is a bigotted *****.

Well, he sure seems to be an equal opportunity offender. Perhaps you prefer Steve Benson's work? Before he denounced his Mormonism, he was detested by the left just as the pre Media Matters, David Brock. Long ago, his cartoons lampooned gays, illegal aliens, abortion, liberalism, Democrats, etc. Now he exclusively skewers any person, place or thing that might undermine his adopted Phil Donahue persona.

Ever hear of the use-mention distinction? You just used the word ******.

Saying: ""Hillary ain't never been called a ******" is not racist. For one thing, it's true.

"Snipery" Hillary being a famous white person, it is not only true, but so painfully obvious, the only point in the phrase is to work the word "******" into the sermon. Was Obama ever called a ****** to his face growing up? If he wasn't (and I doubt he was), this phrase was not only pointless, but intentionally divisive, the hallmark of a Wright sermon.

Are you trying to suggest that employing the word in that way proves that Wright is prejudiced against black people?

It proves that Wright operates under a double standard. Chris Rock has a routine about how some blacks are prejudiced against other blacks according to their shade of color.

Sophistry should me more ... sophisticated.

Because, as you can see by reading Obama's statement, Wright "suggested that Minister Farrakhan somehow represents one of the greatest voices of the 20th and 21st century", a proposition that Obama apparently finds ridiculous.

You seem to be doing mental gymnastics to avoid admitting that what Obama found outrageous was that Wright could characterize an antisemite as being "great."

It is. It is also possible for "a black" not to make racist comments, even if you want him to have done so very very much.

Or maybe this is a wish-fulfillment fantasy with no substantiating evidence
.

Listening to Wright's sermons, he likes whites about as much as David Duke likes blacks. Now, you may not consider his comments anything other than a litany of the perfidy of the White Devil, but to many others, there is more than a whiff of racism emanating from the priapic preacher's pulpit.

I will defend anyone against false allegations; and no-one against true ones.

Like most defense attorneys you really don't care if your client is guilty or not. The jury was out on Wright long ago. Obama pronounced the sentence. Other than those who still attend this guy's sermons, who is interested in rehabilitating this black Father Couglin?

Telling me lies about me is even less likely to convince me than telling me lies about Wright.

Which did not involve condemning him for racism.

No-one I know of.
 
Yes, equating gay sex with bestiality. Quite the equal opportunity offender.

I think he was suggesting that people who wish to marry a beast should also be allowed the rights of heterosexual marriage.

The people of California voted down the gay marriage prop. Many of those who voted no were African Americans. You didn't think the gay community was gonna let that pass without comment, did you?

I can't imagine that gays could be as insensitive as Delonas to the feelings of other minorities.

How do you know Obama does not reject Wright's racism? Did he ever say he supported Wright's racist (or race-baiting, if you prefer) sermons?

Using the best information available, many people concluded that Wright is a racist. How is this telling a lie?

Your incoherent and dishonest ravings are doing nothing to substantiate your claims.

Do you have any evidence of racism on Wright's part? Can you, for example, quote anything racist he said in his sermons?

"Uncle Tom" is a racist term now?


Although this is probably better as a separate topic, I would certainly say yes. Calling someone an Uncle Tom is basically telling him that, regardless of the whether the person has a good point or not, their opinion can be discounted because they are agreeing with white people. I find it incredibly racist.

That's a false representation. The allegation is that the criticized person has been domesticated and therefore does not stand up for the rights or interests of black people.

I think most accusations of 'Uncle Tom'-ship are probably false and dishonourable. The accusation is a bit similar to the 'self-hating Jew' criticism sometimes hurled among Jews. But it is false to say that the allegation simply claims that blacks should never agree with whites.

How is that different? What is "domesticated", in the context of a human being?

I agree. It is nothing more than calling a person a traitor to his race. One cannot be a traitor to one's race without first assuming the racist concept of "you should defend your race above others".

Indeed, as I said, he's equating bestiality with homosexuality. And if you don't think that's disgusting, you're just as bad.

Yes, keep on trying to avert attention away from the bigoted cartoonist.

I don't even see your point here, Delonas' racism and homophobia is ok because other people participate in it as well?

No. He is saying why not broaden the definition of marriage to more than heterosexuals and gays. It seems it is you who are being narrow minded.

You still have not shown why Delonas is bigoted. His job, a form of parody, is to provoke a response from the newspaper readers. Judging by your hysteria, he has succeeded brilliantly. Don't you have freedom of speech in your country? Or is only politically correct speech allowed?
