I disagree strongly that LGF is "racist." They may be anti-Muslim and anti-Arab, but Muslims and Arabs are not a separate race. Calling someone who disagrees with you a "racist" even though race is not a real issue is simply a way for the left to control the debate and reject ideas they disagree with.

Arabs are more closely related to Caucasian Scandanavians than they are the Negroid sub groups in Africa. One more bit of idiocy by liberals (and Muslims) who seek to piggyback their grievances on top of the legitimate concerns of blacks and Asians.

It's related to the issue that Thomas Sowell brought up recently, about the inability to distinguish rhetoric from reality.

One of the many failings of our educational system is that it sends out into the world people who cannot tell rhetoric from reality. They have learned no systematic way to analyze ideas, derive their implications and test those implications against hard facts.

There may be racists among the commenters at LGF, but so what. There are racists everywhere. The point is that CJ is no racist.

If I compare what Johnson is poltically (a 'kennedy democrat') and compare that to others I come up with, gee whiz...

Victor Davis Hanson
Mort Kondracke
Me (though as lifelong dem until now I prefer HST and FDR as exemplars)

If I compare where Kos is, I come up with George Soros "america is a barrier to justice in the world", and Eric Foner, and Hobspawn, et al. His commenters are not racist, by comparison, they're genocidal historically factless delusional fantasists.

Joe Lieberman just doesn't belong with those people and neither do I

They're not racist. They just want to kill all arabs.

This is easily the stupidest comment I've ever come across.

"They're not racist. They just want to kill all arabs."

Daily Kos commenters aren't antisemitic, they just hold Israel to completely different standards than every other nation.

The point is, both blogs have huge comment threads which can't be policed, and the owner doesn't try. Both have extreme comments. Both groups cherry-pick each other's comments to hold up the worst examples as representative. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Actually Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler is the scary one.

While I dislike some of the Kos commentators the question is where do they stand on most issues as opposed to one or two. When it comes to choosing Kos or LGF I'll go with Kos.
