Stooping to Conquer

Well this really takes the cake. First rate race-baiting by Tom W. Astounding!

I received the mailer in question and never once did it cross my mind to consider that a dark figure in the shadows was representing African-American men. Thanks so much Tom for setting me straight, poor little bobblehead that I must be. I have lived on the east coast, west coast and in-between. I have had two instances where men attempted to break into my unit, while I was there, and one person tried to assault me on the street. Of the three events, I actually saw two of the perpetrators; 1 was white and 1 was black. Many years ago I broke up a street fight between 3 white guys. So of course, like any law abiding citizen, I JUST KNOW that anyone out to do ill has to be African-American. Oh yeah, let there be no doubt. That lousy racist Don Gordon is obviously appealing to the crassest, basest fears of the electorate. Don Gordon lies when he talks about not throwing folks overboard who want to live in RP. Racist pig that he is.

Right! And I'm channeling Harry Houdini!

Tom, time for you to take another break from the blogs. Time for you to assess your own objectivity in this process. Time for you to ask why you're reaction to that mailer was that it exemplified Don's implicit, if not explicit racism, if not his ignorance. Seems to me that anyone who reads that much into a mailer might want to ask himself why it was so easy to do that.

You're losing it kiddo.
