Ahmadinejad doesn't outright deny the Holocaust the way the GOP doesn't just say n*gger
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 03:21 PM by cryingshame
Extremists, for the most part, have learned to couch their divisive, ignorant and minority views in euphemisms, and code phrases.

Because society at large (and this is worldwide) has become socially more liberal.

Like "States Rights" is a phrase in code for racial bigotry in the GOP, there are phrases Anti-Semites use.

So anyone who says Ahmadinejad hasn't outright denied the Holocaust misunderstands the nature of bigotry as it exists in politics today.

Take a good look in Europe and how the Far Right is regaining hold. It's due in good measure to public relations savvy.

You have to know how to market racism for modern audiences.

1. The GOP doesn't say what? I couldn't tell because of that asterisk.
Good god, are we all freaking children? You typed the word "nigger" but used an asterisk...does that make any less the word? If you're talking about using the word "nigger," use the word "nigger." You're not sparing anyone any pain with a silly asterisk.
