re: The "hated black conservative" did this to himself.
"I gotta admit I don't know the guy. But based on what I've read, his actions in this specific instance seem to be disengenuous. That does not mean that he is a 'horrible person' as the person to whom I'm married characterizes me when she's POed but it simply indicates that this was an act which deserves criticism."
Now, now, Phil. No need to degrade yourself to make a ppint. ;)
I know, I know... he shouldn't have, but I that "hated black conservative" label has to go.
