“`And how exactly like an egg he is!’ she said aloud, standing with her hands ready to catch him, for she was every moment expecting him to fall.

`It’s very provoking,’ Humpty Dumpty said after a long silence, looking away from Alice as he spoke, `to be called an egg — very!’

`I said you looked like an egg, Sir,’ Alice gently explained. `And some eggs are very pretty, you know,’ she added, hoping to turn her remark into a sort of compliment.

`Some people,’ said Humpty Dumpty, looking away from her as usual, `have no more sense than a baby!’ “

Why is it so important to you that the rest of us not object to your disparaging terms for “a subset of the population”?

Further, some people regard as racist any criticism of a cultural traits which happen to be found primarily among people of a particular race, again regardless of whether the definition of those traits would involve race.

The left has been very effective at convincing people that certain subsets of the population or cultural traits must be regarded as beyond reproach, since any criticism of them would be denounced as ‘racist’. I see no reason to go along with that.

ghetto + trash = racist

WTF? This is pretty much the definition of “echo chamber” discourse. Conservatives and libertarians really have hit “peak wingnut”, when their conversations, references, and shared identity become completely unintelligable to anyone who isn’t one of them.

I know this is late, but I’ve been busy and haven’t been paying attention.

The reporter who wrote the vancouver newspaper story is the same guy who has repeatedly suggested that folks at the Daily Kos write horrific comments on conservative sites and blame it on “right wingers”. Just a happy coincidence that he’s the guy who “broke” this story I’m sure. This is why you shouldn’t take comments on a site at face value and why you probably shouldn’t hold it against the owners of a site that has comments that are outrageous.

“A cop dicked over by the system. I call that poetic justice.”

No Frank, that’s not justice, and its not poetic. You and I know nothing of Mr. Spencer other than that he was wrongly convicted. Try spending 20 years behind bars for something you didn’t do and get back to us.

BTW, the whole state of Washington was a hotbed of phony child abuse cases all through the ’80s and ’90s.

I’d say the phrase “ghetto trash” is unambiguously racist.

All criticism of Obama or anyone affiliated with his administration or him personally is racist by default. If you disagree, that’s just because you’re racist.

News flash: Homophobia is rampant in the African-American communities that tend to be VERY religious. My cousin, I’ll call him Jeff, was black, openly gay and had AIDS. He died two years ago. His sister, I’ll call her Janet, is one of those Bible-thumping, minister-wife types who thinks Harry Potter is evil. Yeah. Anyway, she and her husband’s congregation was supportive of Jeff but primarily because he too was a Bible-thumper. No, seriously. I doubt that would have been the case if he was anything like me: an unrepentant “heathen” and “atheist”.

People like my cousin Janet are upset whenever the gay community compares their fight for civil rights to the African-American civil rights movement (which wasn’t JUST AA but don’t tell THEM that). So, in short, I was not at all surprised to hear about Rev. Lee’s situation.

While there were posts that referred to the girl’s trashy appearance, I’m not clear what was supposedly “racist” about them. If the daughter were white, but were photographed in similar dress and pose, I see no reason to believe that would have caused her to be treated differently. Further, anyone who tries to put forth a political message is fair game for criticism; those who do not wish to be subject to criticism should refrain from putting forth political messages. Why was Malia wearing nuclear disarmament t-shirts, if not to convey a message?

He hired Seattle attorney Peter Camiel in the mid-1990s. Camiel and a private investigator uncovered disturbing facts about the investigation — including that prosecutors withheld medical exams that showed no evidence of abuse, despite Krause’s claims that the children had been violently, repeatedly raped. Those discoveries led Gov. Gary Locke to commute Spencer’s sentence in 2004.

Lets see, a full grown man violently rapes a 9 year old and 5 year old and they don’t have any physical signs of abuse? Huge red flag right there, and that the prosecutors witheld the information speaks of a possible conspiracy to convict this guy. I’d look to Krause and the supervisor mentioned in the story who was having an affair witht he accused’s wife.

Krause, who declined an interview request from The Columbian in 2005, could not be reached Friday.

Gee, maybe on advice of her attorney because she knows she is about to be sued and may possibly face criminal charges…oh wait, a cop, sorry no charges she was just doing her job.
