On The Third Hand

Calling A Spade A Sturdy Digging Tool Having A Thick Handle And A Heavy, Flat Blade That Can Be Pressed Into The Ground With The Foot

Ok. I admit I linked Bigwig’s post partly because I really like the title. But only partly. Some of the attacks on Dr. Rice are seriously beyond the pale, and you’ll get some good examples there.

I also love his extremely sarcastic ending sentence.

It’s not racism, it’s “nuance.”

I’ll also note that wits0 (badly mis-nicknamed) left me a link to Rush Limbaugh’s rant on the same subject but I didn’t post it because I simply could not get past the fact that Rush Limbaugh is an insular idiot who does not realise that the Brits have always spelt things differently. “Learned” is American spelling, Rush baby. “Learnt” is British spelling. It isn’t a racist slur. Get a clue. (About halfway down the page, if you click the link.) Sheesh.

Ignore Limbaugh; Silflay Hraka’s got the goods — without the insular idiocy.
