‘We’re not racist, you racist’
Dave Weigel has a good post about the Great Debate (something I mentioned in the post directly below):
The backlash to the NAACP's resolution calling for the tea party movement to renounce racism ended pretty much as I expected -- with the tea partiers grabbing back the megaphone as the NAACP decided not to press the issue.
These are incredibly important issues to all these guys. No one else cares. But they do. Passionately. … THEY MUST WIN THE ARGUMENT. … Don’t forget the never-ending
Great Fascist Debate. … I’ll cut if off here, before someone accuses me of trying to be evenhanded.
