Re: Gordon Brown's "Bigot" Comment: News Media, Do Your Job!!!!

From Iran. Iran’s so far away.

This is the beginning of a bigot/racist rant 9 times out of 10, if not more. And the fact that she stopped herself is pretty telling too.

I don’t blame him one bit for his comment.

Indeed. I’d love to see the day when a baseless accusation of racism leads to an apology by the accuser, rather than the accusee.

It seems to me that’s what happens more often – it’s how it played out here, at least.

ding!

It was just the opposite for me. I usually don’t find racism in comments, but I see it everywhere in her statement:

“You’re” not supposed to <blank> about immigrants. An us vs. them mentality

“Flocking” like they are sub-human invaders.

I don’t see a thing wrong with what Brown said.
