Read this, but be warned, it´s dense.

The point, in brief? Congress doesn´t have any right to make an apology. It wasn´t Congress´ fault; it was the fault of the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court has issued no apology.

I´ve no idea what the individual reasons for not signing the bill were…for all I know, every non-signer could have been KKK at one point. But for a guy like Oliver, who makes a living being smart, signing this bill shouldn´t be, as he put it, “a knee-jerk vote.” The truth is more complicated.

‘Southerner’ is a big, scary word, I guess – adds a lot more punch to the post, even if it doesn’t serve reality well.

This is unreal. A person is now a racist if they didn’t co-sponsor a resolution? This wasn’t legislation. It’s not a law. It’s a piece of paper that says, “Oh by the way, we’re sorry that people in the past didn’t pass anti-lynching legislation.” Get a grip.

And Oliver, I didn’t ask you whether or not they should be ashamed. I asked if you were going to say that Kent Conrad and Jack Reed are pro-lynching. They must be according to your logic and as such, why would you want Democrats who support lynchings part of the party that defeated the Nazis (snicker)?

Does the same go for Kent Conrad, Jack Reed and Jeff Bingaman? All three are Democrats and were not co-sponsors of the legislation. Tell them to resign Oliver. I mean, you don’t want Democrats who support lynching representing your party do you?

This kind of nonsense from people is getting ridiculous and it isn’t just liberals. Conservatives pull this kind of crap as well. Some idiot will say something outrageous and people will say, “If so and so doesn’t condemn this, it means he supports it!”

Enough already.
