“Is the truth any less true if the recipient does not like the message or the messenger?
Are you saying that anyone who objects to racism is a hypocrite if they don't also believe that no one should ever be allowed to publish anything that is remotely offensive to anyone?
Do you really believe that any simple insult is the same as an insult that is based in racism?”

“No but neither is it proof that there are NOT people in that group who "are prejudiced against New Englanders who moved to Texas and spoke Spanish".
The fact that we have an African-American president is not proof that racism is dead because 47% of the country did not vote for Obama. It is safe to assume that the other 53% is not racist but the vote sheds no light on the attitudes of the other 47%. The teaparties, racist jokes and pictures like the one above however DO indicate that there is plenty of racism left in this country.”

“EXACTLY. The famous Nation magazine charicature of Bush as Alfred E. Newmann was funny because Bush was regularly showing himself to be about as astute as Alfred E. Newmann. Was it disrespectful to the POTUS? Sure, but that's what free speech is all about.
The photoshopped picture of Michele Obama says, "this woman, by virtue of her ethnicity, is sub-human." That's not about anything that Michele Obama as an individual did or said, that is a racist put-down of an entire segment of humanity, of which she happens to be a part. Is that what free speech is all about?
Well, yeah, it is. I mean, it's LEGAL from a constitutional standpoint to dress up in your Klan robes and use "The N Word" and generally act like a hateful, racist asshat. But one must recognize that as our culture slowly but surely matures, racism becomes societally unacceptable, an ideology so despicable to such a large percentage of the citizenry that maintaining it requires removing yourself from that citizenry. In other words, it's your constitutional right to call Michele Obama a monkey, but don't expect to have a whole lot of friends... and don't be surprised when someone who's had enough of your hateful rhetoric stomps your butt real hard.”

“I'm not familiar with the specific policing policies that he has implemented but I can imagine at least one way for a Mayor to "push" crime into an area: by increasing police presence in one high crime area, the criminal activity moves to an area with less "heat". If the policing strategy doesn't adjust the criminals settle into the new area. I don't know that this is what happened, and if it did, I wouldn't suspect that it was intentional, but it's a legitimate answer to your question. It happens in the DC Metro area quite a bit because there are multiple jurisdictions. When the police increase their presence in DC around the city line the criminals will move into Maryland or Virgina and vice versa.”

“Does the fact that PETA is annoying make anything that was said in the commercial untrue?
The fact is that factory farming (both meat and dairy) is repsonsible for many health problems including multi-drug resistant strains of Staph (which nearly killed my father-in-law) and the early onset of puberty in young girls. These are caused by the oversue of antibiotcs to offest inhumane, unhealthy "licing" conditions and the use hormones or other chemical enhancements to increase prodction and PROFIT. All the while these mega corporation factory farms collect tax -payer funded farm susbisides that were originally designed to help small independant family farmers during the Great Depression.
