So, I once more went in and edited in a bunch of stuff and in the meanwhile, my post got "liked". So I'll just move it down here (see post 6):

But if we're talking about stupidity, why don't we talk about the attempt to generalize to liberals in the thread title: "Liberal guilt at the finest"?
What about this repeated use of examples of one person identified as being on the left, saying something stupid, to impugn the entire left? Perhaps we should talk about that, eh? Seems to me that in many cases that those smearing the entire "the left" with an example of a few morons are utterly unwilling - and rightfully so - to be smeared themselves by self-identified right-wingers behaving stupidly/atrociously/whatever. (Take for example the recent smear threads about "liberals screaming at the sky", and the people who posted in those threads without recognizing that they were actually talking about just a gaggle of dumbasses).
There are always going to be morons. They're every where. There's also ****ing morons and ******* ****ing ****headed ******* morons. There's even worse. So how about a public request that in threads about a seemingly small group of morons, the creator says "hey....look at these idiots", but not "This is [X belief associated with a side]".
The guy who wrote the article is a fool. Sounds like he's talking about some super-charged version of "institutional racism" which is rather different than "racism". Racism is very much a belief in the inherent superiority or inferiority of persons belonging to a classification people have called "race" (aka, not a biological category, like species and sub-species). The article's author is a moron writing moron things, which things he apparently found out over a 2 day "workshop".
I already have my doubts about people who learn worldview-altering revelations in workshops, but this was a particularly bad example.
At least multiple polls conducted by multiple sources have a better chance at accuracy.
