Whenever a man openly talks about his fears and then acknowledge that those fears may be irrational, that man is doing a service, a good thing, he sends a message to young men and boys that having fears is normal, that it is normal to have internal conflict, that it is o.k. to verbalize those internal mental conflicts. Positive dialog that follows will resolve those internal mental conflicts. There is a big difference between those who really hate, and those who have irrational fears.

I really don't know what to say to this...
Are you saying that the secret to getting through to the tea party mentality when it comes to racial issues is to sit them down, listen to what they have to say and then dialog with them about their irrational fears so that I can then gently coax them into thinking like a liberal?
If so, then sign me up!
Will that work with their irrational fears about socialism and big government, too?
