The fun thing is that apparently one comment made 50 years ago from one member of one party is a proper moral cudgel to some, but having an exalted leader of the KKK from your party, let alone the mention of the deep Democratic commitment to segregation in the same time period is improper to cudgel with. Let alone constant comments about 'n-ggers' from architect himself of the Great Society at that same point in time.
If hypocrisy and smug condescension were Olympic sports, 93 wouldnt just be in a medal contention position, he would be moving into the Mark Spitz or Carl Lewis realm at this point.

Hmmmm.... calling out somebody for making smug/condesending comments while constantly making smug/condescending comments himself. Would you call that hypocrisy? I may be confused.

Tanq's comments aren't smug and condescending. They are rude. That's because Tanq doesn't play well with stupidity or ignorance, and doesn't mind being rude to people who are stupid or ignorant. I love him for it. I wish I could be more like him, but I just don't have it in me. If you expect to make a stupid or ignorant comment and not have it smashed back in your face, don't make that comment to Tanq.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've read one of Tanq's comments and thought, "Damn, I wish I had said that." I do the same thing when talking with him in person over a good wine or beer. Actually, I probably do have about $1,000 for each of those times. So hell, be greedy, make it $1,000,000.

OMG he makes smug/condescending comments constantly! You are showing your bias if you don't see that.

I agree with you that he is also rude.

I also agree that he can make some excellent points. But LOLZ that he doesn't make smug/condescending comments!
