Michael Moore is being crticized for racism, not policy commentary

[stupidicus]

77. indeed

it seems to me that the corrolary to their "must be haters/racists" for the critique crowd would be their designation as blind and irrational BHO-worshippers at the very least, who are perhaps largely motivated by white guilt -- just to keep the poles balanced and lines connecting them untilted in their polarized, either/or world.

WHat's most striking about this to me is that they are attempting to do with Moore what they falsely accuse us BHO detractors of -- overlooking his long and storied record of public service in what are undeniably and presumably "our" causes, which now all take a back seat to his alleged "racism". There is of course the important distinction that most BHO critics have far more to go on that one simple statement of opinion as MM's was.

The ease with which so many have now proposed and accepted that MM must necessarily be a racist based on that comment alone establishes a prime facie case for that proposed above imo. They may well establish his guilt in this court of public opinion amongst their peers/those of like mind, but it's highly questionable that they'd prevail in a court of law iffin he hypotheitically pursued a defamation suit over the charge. The best affirmative defense in such matters, the truth, isn't on their side using a preponderance of the evidence standard, is it?

It seems to me that all they're accomplishing with this effort is validating/using the same illogic rightwingers tried to make hay out of with Biden's comments.
