		<description>I just wanted to make sure you are, indeed, resorting to calling me names rather than answering questions in a truthful manner.

So, to sun up for those playing at home - you are a liar who doesn't mind racist language as long as its directed at someone who disagrees with you. Oh, yeah - for all of your demands that a Liberal blogger apologize for the heinous crime of linking to a guy who spoke ill of the dead, you have no problem praising others who speak ill of the dead - as long as the dead guy is, again, someone you disagree with.

Of course, since you aren't responding to me anymore, people will just have to review your words here and in other posts to see if I am right, huh?

What part of "you're a dickhead and there's no point in talking to you" did you not understand?

		<description>So Senator Russell Long, openly racist advocate of segregation and proponent of Jim Crow was *not* an important Democrat until 1987? Strom Thurmond, he who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957, wasn't a hugely important Democrat until 2003? The number of Dixiecrats who became Republicans is 2, the number who remained Democrats is 52.

Of course, you A) refused to answer the questions and B) are resorting to ad hominem instead of facts.

Again - when you said you objected to OW's attack on the recently dead, were you mistaken, or actively lying?

		<description>No, it would be forty years out of date.

I could defend myself further to you, but you're clearly just a complete dickhead so why bother.

		<description>Do you require direct quotes of your own words in every reply before you will admit that you said them? In this reply you, again,claim that calling someone a 'House Negro' "...isn't necessarily racist..." (direct quote) while also admitting that "...It's not the kind of thing you should call someone to their face, or bandy about liberally..."

So,like with Falwell, you are fine with, oh, SG calling a Black Conservative a 'house negro' and claiming it isn't racist. Now, if - for example - I (a mixed race man who is often considered Black) were to call, - for example - Oliver a 'House Negro' for supporting the Democratic Party that passed and enforced the Jim Crow laws, would *that* be racist?

		<description>Ah, I see - commenting positively about someone mocking the death of another while defending someone mocking the death of another is, somehow, objecting. Otherwise, see, when you wrote above that you objected, you would have been wrong. I am sure you are confused now, so let me sum up for you:

Nimrod: "I objected when OW mocked Falwell's Death"

Me: "No, you didn't. You defended OW and praised other mockery of Falwell"

Nimrod: "Well, OW didn't, himself, write that really nasty comment about a recently-dead man that I abhor but think is really funny. Besides, Falwell deserved to be mocked in death."

Remember, Nimrod, you are commenting in this very thread that someone who *linked to* a hateful comment about a dead man should apologize - while you blow off your own direct praise of the same actions.

		<description>Anatole,
Pal,I have literally *no idea* what you are talking about. Considering that I have mentioned the media, oh, twice ever on my blog and the only time I mention Jews is in a context of world-wide birth rates,I have a question for you - what color crack have you been smoking?

		<description>That IS completely brilliant. I can appreciate wit without having the same drives. Also it wasn't Oliver who said it.

If anyone did deserve to have their death actively celebrated, Falwell was one. I still wouldn't do it myself, but it was going to happen anyway, what was I supposed to do, stand around going tut tut tut every time someone posted something?

"Oh, yeah, the classic 'calling him a house negro wasn't racist because he is, indeed, a house negro' ploy." Yeah, I definitely remember saying that. Oh wait, I didn't. You're talking bollocks. And there's the false equivalency with the wop and the bimbo and the hey hey. In fact I'm only dimly aware of what the hell you're even on about there.

The "house negro" argument isn't a case of calling a black man an enn word. It's an argument that their race is being exploited by their employers for the sake of appearances, with their often cheerful collusion. Which I think is often a good point with respect to certain black members of the GOP.

		<description>Nimrod,
You *objected* to OW's dance on Falwell's grave? Let me refresh your memory, Nimrod.

You wrote this:

""I'll mourn his passing with a Campari &#038; soda."

That's completely brilliant."

that is direct *praise* for OW's gloating, not an objection.

amongst other defenses of OW's gloating, you also wrote:

"I prefer to take these things on a case-by-case basis. When Jimmy Carter dies you people will say very similar things about him, I expect. The difference is, Carter doesn't deserve it. Falwell, arguably, does."

You did toss in this half-hearted 'I would never do this, but' statement:

"For the record, I agree about not pissing on people's graves. De Mortuis Nil Nisi Bonum and all that. But no-one is doing except maybe Oliver."

but your defense of OW and attacks on Falwell continued after. And you also didn't condemn OW in his follow-up piece, either.

In short - nuh-uh.

		<description>Nimrod,
Oh, yeah, the classic 'calling him a house negro wasn't racist because he is, indeed, a house negro' ploy. I suppose that, for you, calling a woman a 'stupid bimbo' isn't misogynistic if she is a bimbo, right? Or maybe you think calling an Italian a 'wop' is OK if his accent is thick enough?  After all, you are "only" referring to a particular individual with your racist, misogynistic hate speech, not the race/group, right?

So.... Tell me, again, how that Six Meat Buffet piece was racist?

		<description>I just want to put in a good word for Yorkshire Pudding. It's delicious! Also, do you deny that Falwell's life hurt America, DT? Do you deny that his death made our country a better place?

		<description>Oh, the Captain Coconut thing. Do you actually understand what people mean by this particular criticism, which while racially charged isn't necessarily racist since it applies specifically to the individual in question rather than the whole race?

It's not the kind of thing you should call someone to their face, or bandy about liberally, particularly as it's directed at whoever the "house" part represents as much as the individual.

Yes, I did object at the time, but as I said it's his blog. He is also capable of explaining himself articulately when he comes under criticism, unlike a lot of other figures in this little mummer's farce.
