I have no idea, actually. What I meant was that every conservative who even wants to think about racial issues outside of PC orthodoxies has to accept that this is the deal - the very first tactic that will be used by those who disagree with him is to call him a racist. That's part of the deal. There doesn't have to be any evidence or anything at all. If you want to say anything about race beyond talking about the pervasive racism of American society and how that's the only explanation for every problem afflicting African-Americans, you will get called a racist. Every conservative knows it. I think most leftists do to, to be honest, but it's too useful a tactic of intimidation to admit that. Rush certainly should have - he's not stupid. If he knew his employers weren't willing to deal with the firestorm from his comments (which they obviously weren't) then he should have either not made them, or resigned on principle - none of this "interfering with NFL Countdown" nonsense. Acting all surprised that this happened is, frankly, kind of disingenuous. Of course he was going to be attacked. That's what happens, right or wrong. It's only worse that - in this case - he was wrong. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
