11. There's just one problem with all of this
Aside from your over the top and condescending tone (which I mirrored in my last post unfortunately), I'm on record as saying that *I* DO think the cartoon was obviously ignorant and racist. I can post the link to the thread if you want.

I'm also on record as having disagreed with my favorite talk show host (who you obnoxiously referred to as my "hero") many times. In fact when I do, I email Cenk and or I post something at the home base of TYT.com. In fact I did this recently regarding top marginal tax rates and the Octuplet Mom (two issues, one thread by me).

But the difference between us is that I don't flip out and go nuts when Cenk says something I (strongly) disagree with. Why? Because I keep it in the CONTEXT of the person saying it. If Rush says it, you know he's a racist POS. If Cenk says it (and Rush would never make a nuanced argument about how we need to delicately approach discussions of race to get better results), I realize it's the same guy that cried along with Jesse Jackson:
