What is a Conservative Journalist?

I don't think it pays well, I can tell you that much.

" It’s as if they believe the only bias in the system is against wealthy white college students.” That’s largely true when describing the (almost exclusively out-of-state) conservative journalists who defended the lacrosse players. But did Coleman expect otherwise?"

:bom: :bom: :bom: :bom:

Sorry J ...but KC is nothing if not articulate. What he says here is that Coleman's belief that "the only bias in the system is against wealthy white college system" is LARGELY TRUE in regard to conservative journalists.

It is " largely true."

Does anyone "expect otherwise?"

Are you defending that kind of smear? And how does Mr. Wonderland decide when this racist malady effects a journalist...when he votes? Gets a job? Obviously, it is his POLITICAL belief that makes him racist...."largely" racist.

That is flat out offensive, unfair, and untrue. I'd like to hear that statement defended as anything other than a political smear.

And, in making his point...it was unnecessary to even include.

Only a Ass would spout such ignorance. Would he condone such generalizations to be made about liberals or homosexuals? "Oh THEM...well of course...WHAT can you expect."

"Largely true." "What can you expect?"

If you are offended that I have little respect for KC...I ask you how much respect HE has to make an ignorant general assumption like that? He implies conservatives are racist or, at best! only concerned with the injustice to THEIR own race. THAT is HIS bias. HIS ignorance.

When this Board started...about 15 people got it going. We started a blog and a discussion Board. We were from all over the place and we never asked each other's politics. We cared about these kids. Do you think our politics somehow tainted our motivation? The Libs were here because they are noble and fair? The Conservatives were here because the guys were WHITE?

HUH? Are you buying that?

I think there were good people of every political persausion drawn to the outrageousness of this Hoax and skin hue was NO factor.

Racism, according to KC...is apparently synonymous with conservatism. "What did he expect?"

How dare he ascribe motives like that to individuals unknown to him except for their political leaning! He obviously feels Racism is LARGELY integral part of the mindset of anyone who does not vote in lockstep with Him.

Of course, if anyone can explain the unbiased innocence of those sentences...I will be glad to be tutored.



Let me try.

In my (decidedly right-wing) opinion, KC is a stinking liberal. Among other things, he is (or has been?) a supporter of Zer0 0bama. Given his history (the tenure fight, etc.), this takes a seriously screwed-up mind.

However, not all screwed-up liberals are born equal. When the s**t hit the fan in Durham, he was on the side of the angels - and how! While he suspects us of being a bunch of out-of-town conservatives who only care about rich WASP boys (or whatever nonsense he has in his head), he does not try to retaliate by framing the said boys. In his tenure incident, he was persecuted for (basically) trying to maintain some standards at a place which seems to have just about none.

So. No doubt, he is very imperfect (I have not listed most of his imperfections, or of my own reasons to distrust him). In some sort of ideal world, one could look at such people down his nose - but all of us have noticed that this world is somewhat imperfect. As Churchill put it, "If Hitler invaded Hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons". Surely, KC deserves "at least a favourable reference" here. :pope:

Good points, Comelately.

Certainly, the great contribution he made in the Hoax is admirable and undeniable. I find that easy to say. He was amazing. Why can he not shake off the chains of his liberal superiority complex and stop marginalizing people who have a different political worldview? Why can't he control his sniping?

But in another way, it is helpful to know how rigid his scope of thought really is. If he "largely" thinks that he can opine on the motivations of strangers because of their political views....then he joins that sorry, narrow minded group of fools who think that they can do the same by only knowing ones color or sexual preferences. KC may be in a different "chapter" but he is a member of that brotherhood. Same hateful baseless assumptions just
different targets.

I once had almost a hero worship for KC. Oh well.

But..."to what we owe to other days"...etc.etc.
