This is an attempt to create a space where issues can be discussed free of hate, fear mongering, labeling, and empty rhetoric. The idea is a shocking one ... that political issues can be discussed logically and respectfully by people who don't agree. It isn't easy, but it is worth a try.

Rushed logic: Limbaugh, Gabby, and Racism
If you spot racism, you're a racist. Liberals spot racism all the time, so liberals are racists. Isn't it wonderful logic? It is the thesis of this rant by Rush Limbaugh (Rush). Sometimes I just have to shake my head at the twisted shit people come up with. This, though, is pure brilliance. If you make a big deal about something being racist, then you recognize racism and thus are racist. It's a perfect response. If someone claims they didn't get a job because they were black, you criticize them for being focused on race. If someone says they were beaten to death by white people trolling for blacks to harass, they would be a racist ... and a zombie. I suppose that couple that wasn't allowed to get married because they were of different races had it coming ... those damn racists! I do have one concern, though. How does racism get identified? It must exist, or the folks identifying it couldn't be racist. But who would want to identify it? Maybe they are taking one for the team. Maybe they are so ignorant that they don't realize they are racists. Maybe they are confused by the tortured logic. I know I sure am.
