"forgiveness" for sinner is coming from someone who is defending someone else who claimed that it is understandable for non-whites to be MAD at white people (not 'hate' the word you used) and as someone who sometimes gives lectures about subtext I had to suspect that all

of your writing about 'instincts, and hate on whites the way uninformed and gullible Americans hate on Arabs and that you should have known that "forgiveness" only applies to white people, forever repenting for all the evils they have caused in the world, and that it never applies to non-whites forgiving white people who are not proud of the things done in their name. In fact, white people should further be blamed for it, forever, even when they are completely against such atrocities. Blaming others for ones behavior, it is only natural' - was just a different way of saying: 'I hate that dude and I never will forgive him! - We got it - but aren't you a little worried that adnoto is lolling?

My daughter right now is Egypt, and the purpose of her staying there is to better understand what 'non whites' are talking about because sometimes she is little bit too 'white' (just joking)

Do you and adnoto want to join her?

You might be able - afterwards - to be 'on topic' if glen writes again about the threats towards Iran!

I get it now.- it's perfectly natural to spew generalized hate about the people of Egypt. In fact, bigotry towards Egyptian people is only natural!

what a pathetic load of crap. If someone tried to reverse this argument and play apologist for why there is bigorty towards Americans, claiming that it is only natural or some such nonsense, it would be shot down immediately for what it is, playing apologist for bigots.

I like to focus on your stupidity and you like to focus on Nationality. You are Nietzsche's monster.

- which has fallen is the idea, that somebody (anybody) still is able to control 'the message' like in the 'good (bad) ole times'...

You can come pretty close - like the big B or his smart campaign - but even for them - sometimes there are just too many balls in the air and if you don't juggle them in the right order you might get lost. If McCain would have picked J.L. the picture would have been quite different and some of the Pundits would have been 'right' - without ever realizing that they just got lucky - and because most of the Pundits live in some kind of 'seemingly coherent bubble' it might take a 'incoherent child', who mostly depends on anecdotal evidence to get everything right - Cheers Jess!

what is wrong to vote for a candidate mainly because of his race (white and black)???

You can vote for him if you are white -

You can vote vote for him if you are black -

You can vote for him if you are both of the above - or none of the above - and still - the whole wide world seems to be amazed that you voted for him at all - and for the issuefetishist read the endorsement in the NYT!

if you really want to discuss this - read michael first -

it still might not be the 'objective truth' but it helps not falling for thruthiness!

perhaps hackney just thought the Georgia conflict was not the right example to make Glenns point.
