Limbaugh is a choir boy compared to Sharpton.......You don't see him rushing to a place where and incident happened and stirring up the pot......And don't say he has a radio show to do it.......So does Sharpton.....
Well that is certainly high praise. Limbaugh...not as bad as Sharpton....
Do you think Limbaugh is worse than Sharpton?
I do not like either one. I have not put enough time nor effort into thinking about it to rate them, nor do I think it is particularly helpful to do so.
That didn't answer the question. You stated that "it was high praise," and mused on Limbaugh not being as bad as Sharpton.
So, that makes one wonder.
We know you've said you don't like either, yet I want to know if you think L is worse than S. You make it seem, a bit, that Sharpton is better than L. Why?
Just mildly curious.
I did not call NP a racist, nor do I think he is one. Please do not build that straw man.
(1) You are creating something that is not there. (2) I think Sharpton is a complete and total ass. I love the show Hardball, think it is one of the better political talk shows around. If I watch the 5 pm edition, Sharpton is on right after. I will literally change channel a hair early just to make sure that Sharpton never gets to count me in his ratings. Is Limbaugh better, worse, the same? I do not know nor do I care. Limbaugh is also a complete and total ass. What more do I need to know. It's not some competition as to who is the bigger ass.
(3) I realize you got to try and make some partisan hack point, but I am not playing. Race, racism, racial politics, race baiting, these are not to my mind partisan issues. This is where you and I differ. I am not going to play race for political gains.
Can we all agree that Al Sharpton is a race-baiting bigot who stirs up racial tension as a profession?
um......aren't you the one who said that one should be able to say negative things about races, without being called a racist?
you doth protest too much.
You said his avatar is racist, it is not. End of story.

his avatar + his signature, plus various other statements by him on this issue, boils down to racism.
So many people in this thread have shown they do not know what racism is. Thank god you and me know. Is it the only thing we even agree on?
there is a fine line between race-baiting, and racial stereotypes.
I believe his avatar, sig., and various other statements on this issue, add up to racial stereotyping....aka racism.
Stereotypes are not racism.
racial stereotyping, is not racism??
:lamo:lamo:lamo
SHow me your defintiion of racism. I posted two earlier in this thread. By both those definitions I am correct.
It can be, but it isn't always.racial stereotyping, is not racism??
racial stereotyping, such as that blacks are lazy, Jews are greedy, Asians are stingy, or Hispanics are all gang-members, is indeed racism.
if you can't see that? well, what can I say.

What about racial stereotyping that blacks have bigger dicks and are better athletes. Is that racist too? Notice what all your examples have in common. Hint: it is not just that they are stereotypes.

Racial stereotyping is not always racism. If I said all Jews are greedy, it is an untrue blanket statement, but has nothing to do with hating Jews or me thinking I am superior because of my race.
