OK... feel free to use your psychic powers to spell out what was in my mind as I referenced the completely bizarre side note to the story we were discussing. Not to mention MAKING it clear that I don't believe this to have any reflection on Thomas at all and that I don't think that Crow harbors warm feelings towards Nazis.

I'll be a little more blunt since you want to feign ignorance here.... I was trying to avoid calling you a 'useful tool' of the left... but since you insist...

I suspect that because you see it so often in the leftist media, you are numb to it... especially in that it isn't directed at you.... so you see nothing wrong with repeating the inference that you have been given. Especially in light of your comments to OO about 'calling out' language that others might find insulting.

Intentional or not... You're repeating a meme that the left has used against every Republican on the face of the earth. The fact that you claim do be only directing it (and only in jest) against a single individual doesn't make any difference, since you've also labeled him a 'Republican Operative'... etc etc etc.

I am not remotely 'spelling out what was in your mind'... I am telling you what you did, whether or not you intended it.

You couldn't miss the story if you were following it from leftists sources, that's for damn sure.... because NONE of you will miss a chance to call a Republican a racist or a Nazi.

Sure. I definitely called Thomas a Nazi. And Crow a Nazi. Legit.

Oh please with the victimized sarcasm. You absolutely repeated a meme. The fact that you claim not to have intended it for the same purpose as race baiters keeps you from being a race baiter, but it doesn't keep you from having repeated their tired memes.

I hardly thought that was much of an accusation. As I said, I think its worse if you DIDN'T argue that, given that you are the one who injected it into this conversation. More in the next response.

Absolutely..., the appropriate time is when someone is clearly being a racist. Since you claim to not believe this has happened here, I'm wondering why you brought up the reference? And since you did, why you think this distances you from an inappropriate use of 'the race card'?

You're digging your own hole here. I couldn't have scripted a 'worse' response from you.
