I’ve definitely noticed this. I’ve had constant political and philosophical battles with my dad over the past 8 years. He’s always been a Bush 18%’er and originally belonged to the “Obama’s a Muslim” crowd. However, something these past few months has changed, and my dad has actually approached me on a few issues and we actually came away agreeing on a lot of things. I thought this would never happen. He still doesn’t like Obama, but now he’s criticizing Bush and the GOP — basically everyone in power. When I start agreeing with my dad on political issues, you know something is afoot.

[quote=AN]If it’s no longer a weapon, then why cry racist when other people who are not part of your race use that same weapon?[/quote]

I knew that would be your response. Context is everything. It’s not the word itself that is the weapon, it is the context in which it is used. If you can’t see the difference between “Hang the nigger!” yelled by a white guy and “Sup my nigga?” said by a black guy, then I guess you’ll never be convinced.

No, that’s what you call taking a weapon that is used against you and diluting it to the point that it’s no longer a weapon.

I can’t wait to see what he does with Ron Paul in his new movie:

I was expecting an interview on Austrian economics. So, that didn’t turn out that way. But, by the time he started pulling his pants down, I … What in (inaudible) is going on here? I ran out of the room.
