Why not

He's made career being an offensive arrogant asshole. Finally he got called out on the only group in the US you're not allowed to talk about. Sorry but that's true. So if Black people have to do the heavy lifting on this one, fine.

Too Bad Jimmy Wales' is wrong

After all Wiki is the home of retarded crackpot hatespeech under the control of retarded crackpots who make it. If you want to know about the specific gravity of oil or Moles' law or when Wyoming became a state, fine Wiki is great. But ANYTHING having to do with history, politics, religion or any social science and Wiki is a Maniac Sewer of the truly insane.

Yeah can Imus

Because let's face it America, you can say pretty much whatever you want except about certain people. Anyone in radio knows that. So, it's like prosecuting the Mafia. You can't get them for murder, get them for tax evasion.

so tell me namecaller, then why is the LIBERAL press in the Arab world so angry at her?

It's a simple question, try it w/o screaming insults at. So glad the new policy has ushered in a new era.

15 occurences of the word Israel I think

Yup we're a worldwide menace. Stop the presses, Gary's discovered the worldwide Jewspiracy.

14 occurences of the word Iraq, in an article about Iraq

Gee I hope if you write cookbooks they're kosher cookbooks.

Nappy headed chickenhead ho's

Broke ass motherfuckers. They look like a pack of crackheads chasing a quarter down the street.

There you happy now?

What makes you think Bill O'Reilly knows a goddamn thing about what causes crime?

Seriously, anyone can pull it out of their loofahed ass and call it reality. I think it's those fat people that cause crime. I'm sure of it.

So?

Don't feel bruised, use the climate to your advantage. Why the hell do you think I won't stand for what I, me personally, deem to be racist hate speech here, at Salon? It's not as if it's going to change the world but it can't be allowed to stand unchallenged. And if that means I don't get invited to the company picnic then fine. And it irritates me no end when people sort-of defend it by explaining Imus has always been that way.

Well other than the typhus and the mass graves Mrs. Goldstein, how were the camps?

I don't know why

But I do know that the contra-media, the opposition routinely overreaches and so takes itself out of serious consideration. IT's not enough that one oppose the war or this or that policy. The left, the opposition has for years adopted a kind of scorched earth policy. You're in for one issue, you're in for all of them no matter how radical or insane. It wasn't enough for instance to be at an antiwar rally, you had to wrap red rags around your head and scream for a communist revolution with the Philippino communist party, you had to stand with ANSWER and the Nation of Islam and people of the purple comet like some of the folks here who never saw a felafel stand without donning their aluminum hats against the secret Jew magic.

And the opposition bought into this, or, more often instigated it. If you honestly believe that Counterpunch is the antidote for Foxnews then you I'm afraid either need to get on or off drugs, whichever you're not now. If honestly believe that AirAmerica is Limbaugh Kryptonite then you dear madam need to put down the hydro. Please.

And is there a cure? Maybe not. Maybe everything is so polarized and agendized that rational thought doesn't matter any more. Fox thinks you're all commie queer liberal terrorists and you think anyone to the right of Bakunin is a capitalist zionist running dog mass murdering colonialist shill.

Congratulations. You are what you hate - a moron.

No, it's a start

Fire everyone for everything. I am completely ok with a zero tolerance ninny nanner bikehelmet wearing society where everyone lays awake at night looking for something to be offended at and I truly believe we should spread it around. If it were you or me at a town meeting we'd get a beat down and everyone would be screaming about how justfied it is. So screw Don Imus and everyone else too.

Ok here's the cribsheet

Mexicans kill people in drunk driving accidents

Black people mug you for crack

Rednecks should just be shot or tasered for standing there

Got it?

Well according to Salon, who runs the media?

Da Jews. It's the plot behind the plot inside the plot.

Money is a convenient shill

No it's not about money. It's about laziness, it's about mixing news and entertainment, it's about filling a 24 hr day with 60 minutes of news and padding the rest with crap and noise. Why is it you folks practically worship at the feet of the Guardian and the BBC? Are they not driven to make money? Why is it you'd prefer to believe whatever al Jazeera says? Is that not functioning, at least in theory, as a profit oriented business? No I'm afraid it's not about money any more than fast food is bad for you because you have to pay for it.

The problem is you, the audience. You supine bovine channel surfing losers. You demand nothing and you absorb whatever shit they send your way. And importantly you put your hands over your ears at the first moment of hearing something you disagree with. Critical thought is dead and you pissed on the corpse. So if you don't like the 'media' you have look around at all the dumb bastards who made it what it is. At least the cracker ass rednecks will tell you they watch dreck. You people pretend you don't.

So, if one were to assume that there are injured people who are not fit for front line duty but otherwise not occupationally disabled, there could be a role for them somewhere else.

"Would that be irony or hypocrisy? I always get those mixed up."

No, what you get mixed up the difference between a direct question and the sound of your own voice bouncing around in your head.

BTW one of the RAF's top aces in WW2 had no legs.

And I quote you from one of your earlier letters

"I wouldn't fuck that skank with a stolen dick"

Your mamma must be so proud.
