Ron Paul's racist comments

[Misfire]

[ QUOTE ]
You continue to claim the comments are NOT racist, on the basis of picking and choosing which definition you want to apply to suit your argument, and then you cling to that explicit definition in all your semantical arguments rationalizing your stance.

[/ QUOTE ]

I told you what definition I used, and there's no denying that my statements are true by that definition. I also conceded that my statements are inconsistent with another valid definition, and explained why I prefer to use less ambiguous terms like bigotry and stereotyping (which you've conveniently ignored in order to claim I'm rationalizing because of my blind devotion to Ron Paul). You then call me a bigot, though I have not once condoned anyone's actions regarding this matter.

[ QUOTE ]
And then when it is shown that comments meet the alternate definition for racism......you dismiss the definition as too broad.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I dismissed the alternate definition originally and proceeded to give you exactly how I was defining the word.

[ QUOTE ]
I didn't realize you were the ultimate deiciding factor on which definition we could use, or abide by....

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't realize you were either. I said in my post that our disagreement probably stems from defining the word differently.

[ QUOTE ]
but then again you are the same brainiac who can't put together a relevant analogy nor tell the difference between someone telling a lie and someone being the target of allegation.... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]

Asserting again. HOW exactly did my analogy miss the mark?
You equated RP not denying an allegation to lying.
I equated you not denying an allegation to lying.

[ QUOTE ]
The comments are racist

[/ QUOTE ]

Back to my concern about your definition of racist. If racism really just means "discrimination based on race," would you call a casting director for a film MLKJr a racist for discriminating in favor of black actors?
