[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 200437, member: 4823"] Maybe I need to use smaller words and shorter sentences? I was noting that the National Review and white supremacists are [-]behaving[/-] acting like Al Sharpnot. I thought I was agreeing with you. [sorry about the 4-syllable word, "supremacists", but it came from the article in the link] You see, the article points out that Nat'l Review and white supremacists are having a field day with this story, and you point out that Al Sapnorth would have a field day with it. It appeared you were leading us to an analogy. I used the word "opportunist", which means something like "One who takes advantage of any opportunity to achieve an end, often with no regard for principles or consequences". [sorry about the 4-syllable word in the definition of a 4-syllable word, but I was just quoting a definition I found on the web] I think that "fraud" connotes that Al Shatporn had knowledge that he took part in deception, and intended that very deception. I have not paid enough attention to Rev. Shoprant's activities to know if anyone has revealed that he did not really believe what he was saying. Is there something they're calling "Al Shparton's Downing Street Memo"? I searched for the words of others to find the best fit for the impression [U]I[/U] get from the term, and I think many others get a similar impression. In the words of a Mason-Dixon Line historian: [COLOR=#cc6600][/COLOR][COLOR=black] Mason & Dixon did not define the South, but their line became a symbol for division of America. The image that Mason-Dixon now conjures up is based on the colloquial use - which refers to the Confederate States' attempt to secede. [/COLOR] I think that most of us outside The South see "South of the Mason-Dixon Line" as a term that implies a certain nostalgia for the attempt to divide America. Many see it as a yearning for the days when one could easily tell something about a person by skin color. It may not be the message that is sent, but it is how it is commonly received.

[I]My[/I] purpose in posting those links was to show what this rant-about-whites-killed-by-blacks brought out of the woodwork...but I wanted to avoid repeating the vile things that are being said. Follow those links at your own risk. Does package dust show up in a pee test? I know they have some pretty sophisticated tests nowadays - they can detect anything from Asparagus to Zoloft. I like that word, "rediculous". What a grrrrreat combination of "red state" and "ridiculous"! [/QUOTE]
