Or could it be that some of us thing that pointing out bigotry is important and it doesn't suddenly become OK because the target of the bigotry is someone we don't like.

The irony about all of this is that here we have clear-cut bigotry in action and you're all bent out of sorts about the fact that some dare point it out. But of when a NY post cartoon satirizing immediately current events comes out that reflects conservative positions that we don't like, suddenly we're squinting and bending over backwards to turn it into overt, blatant racism.

Basically, what I've learned from DU is that racism, sexism and homophobia are completely OK with many as long as the target of such behavior is Republican. But racism, sexism and homophobia are freely read into everything large or small if the accusation can somehow be pinned on a conservative.

I wish we could have more honest discussions about resolving this contradiction.
