I think Clint likes playing Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel on this message board. My feeling towards the Muppet are pretty much mirrored all over this thread but I do have to say I gain lot of pleasure in saying “Wichita” out loud. It’s such a cool sounding place name. My co-workers are starting to look at me strange though 😉 ---

Chivington of the Sand Creek Massacre was the most famous, I believe. It’s also been attributed to Sherman and Sheridan. I would think it was around before that, though. ---

Since nobody else has, I feel it ought to be pointed out that **Incubus** ’ account was [apparently](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=179369) misused by someone else yesterday, and that as a result the above posts are probably not him. ---

I find it amusing that many who refer to me as “ignorant” or “racist” seem to believe that the Palestinians are a race of people. ---

When we all know that the only true race is God’s chosen white race, right? I mean, Jesus was blonde haired and blue eyed… Shit, wait, I’m in the wrong **Clint** thread, aren’t I. ---

I’ve been called a racist multiple times on this thread alone, which is laughable. Palestinians are Arabs. If I was actually a racist, I would hate Jordanians, Syrians, Saudi Arabians, etc. I do not. ---

**Clint** , I’ve had a run-in or two with you before, and I’ve insulted you as much as I can be bothered. Just look up “race” in a [dictionary](http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=race): > [@](#): > > A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race. So yes, when you insult the Palestinians as a whole, you are in fact, a “racist”. If you disagree with this definition, shall we agree on “bigoted fuck”? ---

Who thinks of “English” as a race? According to that definition, New York Yankee fans could be considered a race. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Clint in Wichita \* > \*\*Sure, if we can also agree that you are an anti-semite for backing those who wish to see Israel completely destroyed. \*\* Just a couple of factual inaccuracies - A. I don’t support people who want to see Israel destroyed. The answer, of course, is I support human rights, no matter whose they are. B. Wanting to see Israel destroyed does not necessarily equal anti-semitism. However, if it makes you feel better, you can call me what you like: as long as you base it blind ignorance and bigotry, it doesn’t matter a whit. ---

Clint’s opinions generally stink to a very large degree. But then, so do pile-ons. ☹ It makes me uncomfortable to think that the SDMB is the kind of place where you’re allowed to voice any opinion, but then have to face the wrath of a pit thread where you are **dared** to show your face and endure the insults of a lynch mob. Doesn’t any of this thread come under the rules about posting purely to provoke? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Futile Gesture \* > \*\* > Doesn’t any of this thread come under the rules about posting purely to provoke? \*\* This thread was not started to provoke Clint. This thread started as a reply to Clint in the breastfeeding thread. The reply grew and grew and I realized it would be a complete highjack. So I opened a thread especially to voice my disgust with a certain jackass from Kansas. Like the forum rules say > [@](#): > > If you gotta flame, do it here. The fact that he’s getting his ass handed to him is just a pure side benefit. ---
