I think all the more right leaning folks chimed in to mock the idea.


That's sort of my point - and I know I'm just being cranky to some extent - right leaners read something like this and scoff, and want to mock, which of course is bound to lead them into dicey territory, especially on a msg board where it is impossible to see the context of the statement. And that tempts more left of center posters to attack what they see as racist undertones (it's almost impossible to oppose this in a post without sounding racist, especially to people who are looking for it).

Which is all Hot Air is trying to do. None of us (myself included now that I've posted repeatedly here) should jump in head first like this - we're just taking bait.
