.<<Sure, dougjn called me "dense", for rebutting his ironic racist commentary>> I called you "dense" (which under the circumstances was pretty mild) after you called me a racist. I did so because you misread a bit of irony and sarcasm as racist when its obvious meaning was the reverse. It's obvious meaning was that the racial progress advanced by Kennedy, Johnson and even Clinton was far more important than the relatively trivial matters of their womanizing. And that blacks had it exactly right to think so. As opposed to the absurdly disproportionate emphasis the religious right is putting on Clinton's sex lies after he was cornered. I was clearly parodying the narrow minded moralizing point of view that might actually think the sexual sins vastly more important than advancing civil rights. (You apparently read that parody as a perfectly reasonable position.) Yes, I think responding that you were being "dense" when you flat out called me a racist -- as a result of a very tin eared misreading of a prior post of mine -- was mild indeed. Doug
