Blarg! I couldn’t make myself read that whole article. :-(

I was highly distracted by the "Impeach the President" banner and the quote by Cindy Sheehan. But then, I am probably the token conservative on your flist. :p

In regards to the article - yeah. Total bullshit.

People take him seriously because, as my daughter says, people are stupid.

Reading Mr. Schoenewolf's article sprained my brain.

I have a little trick I use to keep me calm as I read statements that are so Out There that it's not in left field, it's in the overflow parking lot. The part of me that says, "Everybody has one belief that puts that person in a 1% minority," just hurt itself when I tried to read that thing.

It's like he lives in an alternate universe, where American slaves were kept in nice, weathertight houses, didn't get overworked or whipped, and had a chance to buy their way out of slavery, among other things.

I will grant that he's not entirely wrong. The civil rights movement does have extremists in its camp who believe that "all whites are guilty of what was done to blacks...and all must pay." Of course, I will also allow that a stopped clock is right twice a day. And painting the group with the views of the extremist is poor form.
