    Your right it is only over sensitive people who don't think jokes about Blacks eating chicken and watermelon, or jews being cheap and moneywise belong in news commentary.

    No rationally sensitive person would think anything wrong about those kinds of jokes at all.

    It was the assertion that because she was an Arab she was a risk to the President.

    In other words Coulter was saying that a person is dangerous merely because of their ethnicity. That is bigotted, it is a stereo type, and is the antithesis of serious news commentary.

    Negative ethnic stereo types aren't a big deal in news commentary?

    this wasnt, in my opinion, a negative ethnic stereotype...just a statement that was taken out of context and made a big deal of

    I already know your response ("still not a big deal") so I don't know why I'm posting, but this was not taken out of context. The context was clear: 'It is not safe to have a person of Arab descent sitting close to the president.' She's a racist, but when it comes to Arabs you are too so I'm not surprised you don't have a problem with it.

    Saying that any Arab is automatically dangerous to the president isn't negative stereo type?

    I really am trying to understand where you are coming from on this.

    I'm not a racist...I'm a realist. But before I go on....is name calling what got you tossed off the D and D last time? Have you still not learned how to play nicely? Anyway, in the year 2005, where we sometimes go and do based on the color of a certain chart (thanks to a bunch of arabs mind you), this comment was more tongue in cheek about how things are in today's society than derrogatory.

    Among other things you have said it was "just a matter of time... hopefully" that the Middle East would be turned into a parking lot. So it's no surprise to me that you aren't bothered by Coulter's assertion that all people of Arab descent are a threat to the president.

    Nope. Because you advocate destroying an entire region, and the race that resides there, you are a racist. Lots of people were for the war. Very, very few are for genocide.

    But you're right that I did get kicked from the D&D before for getting too heated. I'm gonna duck out of this thread now so it doesn't happen again. Wouldn't want you to get booted for threatening me physically again either. See ya.

    I wish it was possible for you to see how illogical your argument is.

    If we are going to judge all people of a certain ethnicity by the actions of a few then we are doomed.

    All white people are a threat because they are serial killers. They are also a threat to take minorities or people of color's rights away. White people shouldn't be allowed near schools because they are all a threat to sleep with the school children, use drugs with them etc.

    All Jews should be kept out of places of worship because they are a threat to march into one with a machine gun and open fire. Jews should also all be kept away from women, children, and civilians in general because they might kill them.

    All black people should be kept away from public gatherings because they might get in a fight and kill people.

    What you are talking about isn't being a realist, it is being insane and irrational.
