My advice to MM, Roach, Host, SecretMethod, Rekna, Silent Jay, Robot Parade, et al.....give the thread over to powerclown, ottopilot, seaver... There is nothing more to be said that hasnt already. Let them have the forum to pat each other on the back.
They are convinced in the righteousness of condemning a person based not on the body of his work, but solely on one aspect of his life ...his "association" with a controversial figure. It is painfully obvious that there is no point in further discussion.
The thread is yours, guys. Feel free to continue to rationalize your narrow minded intolerance among yourself or respond in kind to me if that will make you feel better.
In any case, I'm done here.
edit:
I thought Obama just gave
a brilliant speech to those who are willing to listen with an open mind and recognize the need to confront the issue of race relations in America.
