It wasn't a quote, it was a paraphrase. Notice the missing quotation marks? If I have his meaning wrong then why hasn't Woland tried to correct me?

I didn't read all of the above, just a gist skim.
What did Woland say then I can say yes or now. It's not always black or white. |

He DID NOT say, as you subsequently attributed to him, that he saw "no racism AT ALL" in the video; he said that "they do not attack him because he is black," which means that the comments about Bush getting the Hitler comments ARE in fact on point, and relevant to Woland's post, thought not your mischaracterization of Woland's position.

Why bother? Just continue to put words in his mouth and then disagree with what he never said. No need to change your M.O. now.

The Hitler/Bush response is directly relevant to your post, because, as you correctly point out in the FIRST post, what Woland DID say was that people were not attacking Obama because he was black.
"No racism at all" is YOUR mischaracterization of Woland's response to the video.

"I'm waiting for Woland"
There could be an absurdest play in this. Waiting For Woland VLADIMIR I thought it was he. ESTRAGON Who? VLADIMIR Woland. ESTRAGON Pah! The wind in the reeds. VLADIMIR I could have sworn I heard shouts. ESTRAGON And why would he shout? VLADIMIR At his horse. Silence. ESTRAGON (violently) I'm hungry! VLADIMIR Do you want a carrot? ..................................... The play depicts the meaninglessness of life--with its repetitive plot, where nothing much happens. |

If he is it is only convienent. I have given a perfectly reasonable way in which I will stop using the term. ALL him and ol Chance have to do is stop spouting irrational hatred of corporations and the rich at every turn. All they have to do is live up to the standards they seem to require of me. Walk the walk is all I ask. If not, if they can say things that are hurtful to me, then I guess I have no reason to curb my language either. It SHOULD be a 2 way street. Maybe if these guys acted more "christian" it would compute more. Such as look at how Jesus talked about and teated his "enemies".

Danny, I'm sorry. I had heard of corporate personhood, but had no idea you were a corporation. (And a filthy rich one at that.) I must have offended you horribly, I had no clue.

Sorry Danny, but you are wrong on every count. I don't hate you, or anyone else here. And I especially don't hate corporations, which would be like hating a tree or a brick. The only 2 things you have ever seen me take a firm postion on there at the Café are issues that deal with malfeaseance of public office (as with rogue police or politicians), and now racial prejudice. Think about this Danny, and please think long and hard: You spend your time here defending the rich, and wealthy corporations, and police that break the law. I use my time to defend the weak and the oppressed and the powerless. Which one do you really think is more Christ-like? |
