Actually, for some time now and in several threads, I've been
highlighting partisan hypocrisy here, to shame those who participate in the mindless insults and innuendo into
stopping it.
We've already ascertained the stance of several of our right-leaning friends, who believe Reid should be "tarred and feathered" (among other things) for his use of racial stereotypes, but are quite adamant about giving Steele a pass for his own similar comments. My pointing out Steele's racial insensitivities and questioning why Reid's are considered any worse than Steele's is not one downsmanship; it is leveling the field. And it's a legitimate question/challenge.
As for myself, I've stated that Reid's racial stereotypes are foolish and unacceptable. Just as I have Steele's. But I haven't called for anyone to be fired or physically harmed, as many on the right have been doing in regard to Reid.
As I've said repeatedly, either call out EVERY ignorant instance of racial stereotypes or NONE.
Which side are
you on, Redress? All or none? Should we point out such blind, ugly partisanship and call it for the hypocrisy it is, or ignore it and hope it will go away?
