To answer your question, Rappy, Wulf:

The women in the parody above is fictional, obviously, but the man I met in Kuwait was not. He was an Iraqi, a Sunni, and his wife was Shiite. He regularly mixed with all sects, and told me that the regular, average populace of the country really wasn't so divided. They really just wanted to go about their day.

He used to live in a city (I forget which - not Baghdad) and moved out because of the violence. His entire way of life was in upheaval, because he shared a label ("Islamic", rather than your "Tea Party") with a few people--people far distant from him and his life--who'd done bad things.

How could he prove to you that he is not a terrorist? Whatever answer you would give to him, give it to yourself.

Then STFU.

So they're not really "here" to me anymore, unless they contribute something worthwhile.

It's always a shame when a few people behave horribly and a group gets blamed for it. I never thought, as I said, that all Tea Partiers are racists, but they lay themselves open to it by determinedly denying there is ANY racism. When I hear things like that legitimacy-test thing being whistled and applauded, it's hard to remember it's not all of them.

I try to remember, by the way, that the Nasties aren't really "here"...they read to find something they can grab onto with which to snark, nothing more. So they're not really "here" to me anymore, unless they contribute something worthwhile.

I'm sorry, Mal4...I so enjoyed yesterday morning because "they" weren't here and we had some real discussions. Don't give up; all we can do is ignore them and MAYBE they'll away again; the only thing we can do is try to have our discussions AROUND them.

That was fantastic. I recognized it right away and appreciated it for what it said. Interestingly, the Muslim community HAS come out loudly and often to denounce terrorists who give them a bad name and get them lumped together. If only the Tea Party would do the same, this wouldn't even be an issue.

And yes, it's sad in both cases that the innocents get branded with the worst of their number...after 9/11 I asked our local 7/11 family if they were okay, they smiled and said yes, they'd be amazed at how many people were looking out for them. On the other hand, my favorite Afghan restaurant, "Bamiyan" was forced to close.

So you've sucked Obama's dick to prove you aren't racist? Or are you just copying Southpark's idea with Stan Marsh and Jesse Jackson? Very nice.

My mediocre snarking is my point of view; I cannot separate my second-rate venom from my ideas, because they are one in the same. If people ignore me and dismiss me, I shall BAWW, for they are violating my constitutional right to be an anus.

The underlined part is the saddest part, to me.

Mal4, beautifully written. I’m not sure why the ending popped into my head...if I think about it, I think it was a combination of both fearing that WOULD be the end (which would have changed the entire meaning), and finding it “just a tiny bit very darkly very wrongly funny”. Combination of the two I guess.

I would never meet an individual in the Tea Partier and think them racist. Their behavior is the guide.

speaks for me, too.

And yes, I too have noticed the saliva all over the threads, as you mentioned. Mike and I had a quick exchange about it in another thread, with him saying wouldn’t it be ironic if there were actually only six or so of us here?

Lastly, yeah, “a dark and foul wind” applies better here than to Wulf...sometimes he actually has something to say. Sometimes...
