    Well, he came close to the line, but you actually typed the word.

    Uh. Pretty sure that's exactly what Terrier meant.

    Edit: Well, then it's YF's fault for typing the word but not thinking the thought. WTF?

    Yes, I typed the word. I guess I'm Dr. Laura.

    Terrier implied it very clear terms. We all know exactly what he meant. He just didn't have the guts to type it.

    If I type F*CK. You know what I meant. And you know what Terrior meant.

    YF, everyone knows what Terrier meant. You don't have to explain yourself. Ace posted something briefly (and subsequently took it down) where he stated that you were putting words in Terrier's mouth. Except you didn't. You didn't have to. Everyone gets it.

    Colmes isn't black, and he was the "house liberal." Williams is now the "house liberal." Nothing racist about it, and how dare you try to paint a decent poster like Terrier as a racist. I think the issue is with people who think "liberal" is as noxious a term as "nigger."

    You know, I've purposely stayed away from this one because, well, you know.
    But I'm getting messages about it and complaints and what not like, you know, a political thread?
    So maybe I ought to treat it like a political thread?

    Not going to just yet but I'm around and on alert. People here say, wow, doesn't it suck, we can't have a political discussion or whatever.

    Prove to me you can handle it like adults. If you can't handle it here, how on earth can it be handled in a real political discussion.

    As I type this, dooley's post precedes mine (may not be the case when I post). This is to make clear it isn't directed at dooley. He's just the unfortunate one to post right before I came on this here post.

    Williams committed the cardinal sin of saying something controversial on somebody else's airwaves.

    If he'd said the same thing - I take a second glance at people in Muslim garb in airports, but we shouldn't give in to that kind of thinking - during a three-minute radio essay on NPR, he'd still have a job. He says it on FNC and it becomes "NPR liberal is afraid of Mooslims too!!!" on the blogosphere.
