[QUOTE=nameless] So you’re calling people gay? I had no idea you were a fucking 5th grader. [/QUOTE] No, I _am_ gay. He’s _calling_ me a faggot. There’s a bit of a distinction there, I think. ---

[QUOTE=crowmanyclouds] Um, nope, not _trying_ to make them look like loons at all. :rolleyes: CMC+fnord! [/QUOTE] That’s right. I’m not trying to make them look like loons. CWS does it itself by including the cartoon in their course materials. I’m pointing out that they are providing graphics from the Weather Underground, not exactly the most reputable group. Now, if I was able to find this info in less than 15 minutes of searching, having never heard of Dr. Butler before seeing this thread, I would like to think that UD would have done a little more research. If they had done just a little more research than me, and they saw this cartoon and more, yet they still hired her, then they must not have thought her course material was out of line or that the fact that it prominently included a cartoon from a terrorist organization was not wrong. ---

Gotta post what my wife said about **polecat** this morning looking at this page: [QUOTE=Mrs. Fresh] You know, he’s like a dinosaur with two brains, except they’re reversed. [/quote] ---

I didn’t know \*\*Miller \*\* was gay. That casts a whole new light on **LonesomePolecat** ’s insult. At first, I thought he was just a brainless juvenile. Now I know that he is a hateful bigoted piece of shit. But this doesn’t mean that conservatives are bigots, right \*\*Weirddave \*\* et al? ---

[QUOTE=Sophistry and Illusion] That casts a whole new light on **LonesomePolecat** ’s insult. [/QUOTE] yea, it was pretty fucked up, and all 'cause he missed that another conservative was dissing him, and **Miller** and I were rude enough to point it out. ---

I did hope, that in a thread that has discussed issues of tolerance, and in which a large proportion of people have asked that a group of individuals not be tarred with the statements and beliefs of radicals, that someone wouldn’t seize on that statement and say “conservatives are bigots,” but you know, whatever. ---
