Wow. Even I haven't said that about them yet. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-29115412323197162082009-07-23T11:56:51.306-07:002009-07-23T11:56:51.306-07:00Likewise, no hard evidence of course, but there se...Likewise, no hard evidence of course, but there seems to be plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that a high percentage of extreme-right, fundie, homophobes are themselves friends of Dorthy.<br /><br />There's got to be some explanation for all the time they devote to cruising gay Asian sites and discussing rimming.<br /><br />No?The Original Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-42316133052602520742009-07-22T04:40:06.953-07:002009-07-22T04:40:06.953-07:00Note as well the 'minstrel show grin' on t...Note as well the 'minstrel show grin' on the cover of the magazine.<br /><br />I don't like to read racism into every single conservative swipe. Mostly I think their problem is with poor people who don't know their place, and that race is secondary to economic elitism.<br /><br />Yet I live in TN, where Senator Bob Corker (Republican) won his seat with a tv commercial showing his opponent, former Rep.

It is difficult not to read a certain degree of pandering into this.<br /><br />The grin on Obama's face is, of course, common on the cover of magazines for individuals of any race, so it can be tricky to try to read too much into it. Yet, purely cosmetically, it is reminiscent of the minstrel show stereotype of the black man with the big dumb grin. It is difficult, again, not to suspect a certain degree of pandering to a rural, white, Republican voting base.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
