Tackling Asian Privilege

[RainDog]

448. This post and the author who did it do nothing to unify

The publisher referred to someone as a "simian-looking Jew" - cause, of course that sort of talk is all about unity too, right? Obviously not.

This is a right wing screed from a right wing publication from Pat Buchanan and his crypto-fascist publisher, Taki.

I suppose we should all start posting Pat Buchanan editorials here as well in order to bring unity as well - because that is the endorsement with the endorsement of this piece.

This has crossed the line.

This post is beyond defense and anyone who thinks it's funny to see how people are disgusted by it would appear to have more in common with conservatives than liberals - so I don't really know what someone like that has to say of value about a big D tent.

Taki is a libertarian publication. In the past, I have taken issue with feminists posting things from a right wing ass named Judith Reisman, who attacked Kinsey for his reports on human sexual behavior, who writes for WorldNutDaily, and who teaches at Falwell's Liberty University. Reisman claims homosexuals recruit children and porn releases some chimera called erotoxins. She claims Nazism came about because of homosexuals.

This publication is merely the libertarian version of a Reisman screed, passed off by saying... oh, it's a joke. It's not a joke - it is a racist satire - that is racist, no matter that someone hides behind the word "satire."

It does not belong here on DU, as much as Reisman does not belong here on DU as a source.

The problem with this nation is there are people who are so disgustingly racist that someone can claim "kidding!" and get away with it because their fellow travelers are people like Reisman and Buchanan.

This entire series of events has revealed to me that some people here are far too selective about how they define "right wing" - it's not simply limited to someone who talks about porn from a right wing standpoint.

The complaints about discussion of white privilege can be made - but not on the basis of references to right wing racist screeds.

Ann Coulter does the same sort of satire as this guy. She isn't funny either - or worth posting here without reference - or defended here - which is what is happening in this instance - and this reveals a real blindspot among some here - or it reveals something else, who knows.
