I get it, you don't like me, you should wait until I am wrong about something before jumping on me out of spite though, because on this matter I am absolutely right...

It's funny listening to an otherwise pretty conservative on the radio ( http://www.wbal.com/listen/live.asp ) go off and blast this guy for making the comment. Maybe because he's black.

Many callers have called in and told him that he used the term in the correct context, but because he his black, he is totally ignoring that fact.

i didnt post this, because I don't listen to the radio while I am working.

unlike AL, whose name is written on his shirt in cursive, no doubt.

Most of the hosts on the radio station "The Power" on XM were going apeshit over this for the last two days. Yesterday was the best because a fill-in host said that he did not believe it was meant to be racist and the callers were giving him hell for it.

Listen, durabass. Nearly every English word with more than two syllables comes from Latin. Despite this, insulation does not refer to an island, and auxiliaries does not refer to allied forces. This is because meanings change over time. Especially after 800 years.

Finding the earliest usage of a word does not add to it current connotations. The subtlety you are missing, in this particular thread, is that a word which is nearly a milenium and one entire language removed might not have the same meaning today. And this, my dense friend, is attested to by the entry in the link provided, which shows the origins of the worRAB' association in the English language.

The stupid is strong in that one...a gaffe that makes Biden's seem tame.

It's amazing how quickly and violently liberals cling to this kind of thing. Especially when you consider some of the slurs that were directed at Bush II. I guess it's ok when it's not your boy eh?

You'd think someone took a shot at POTUS instead of using a contextually accurate phrase that some whiner-babies are trying to blow up into something its not.

The hypocrisy is deep with these liberals.
