Fair enough. I agree with your disagree. (Cindy)

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but he hasn't been participating in these threads (I don't think)...until now...which is always the thing...people coming in late in the five thread discussion like, "hey, no big deal, she's FUNNY", when if you were actually in the threads, participating, you'd have had a very different experience.

It's great to be 'nice'. Shit I wish I were 'nicer'.

Shame that THIS is who he wastes it on. Watch, she'll be back soon, starting up again, just because of that ounce of encouragement...

*sigh*

Just for the record, I do that too.

BTW, I am part of the average middle class white guy that has come from another country. So that makes me also a latino in the US, which is another minority.

Yes, to your question, and if that answer allows you to categorize me as a "closet" racist, you are not better than her, by sticking to preconceptions.

Her comments about Israel and Obama are delirious, her veiled attempts to hide her racism towards black people and muslims are a failure.

Do I support her views? Not in the least, but that level of ignorance can only be laughed at and pitied. She will never learn to be a better person, why do you keep trying to make her see what she does not want to see?

Everyone is in a fit and that gives her the space she needs to keep on talking.... just laugh at her, she's not worth it.



PS. I am an elitist, but never on the grounds of religion, skin color or sexual orientation. I despise stupidity.
It doesn't mean you are a racist, but it makes the point of what it feels like when someone goes on about someone else's "group"...and the assumptions about 'them"...just like she does to Muslims...I just did to you. Not funny? Yus, you are right.

Feels like shit, no? Well, my fiance's family IS MUSLIM, and he was BORN Muslim, so yeah, if I can so easily imply bad things about you by suggestion, try being on this end of the neverending Rebacca rant.

Oh come on now, like -anyone- who posts here needs -any- encouragement.

Trying to lay this on the feet of one person is a bit much. I have been reading the thread from the beginning. My brother is in the sandbox, I have freinds who live in Isreal, everything the OP stands for (or supposedly stands for) goes against the grain of my very being.

But in the end, I can still laugh at her because I -know- she's an idiot. I know that in this case, she is very, very wrong. I also know that this level of ignorance runs deep and that there isn't anything I can do to change her mind about anything.

That doesn't stop me from laughing, feeling sorry for her and knowing deep down that karma is a bitch and will come back looking for some ass to kick.

p.s. I think in fact there is a bit of a movement to get her banned, if I remember right, starting with Cindy.

p.s. Thanks Cindy.

RR, I found this thread after reading the delusions that Rebecca posted in the Obama thread. Over there I asked her to present evidence of her statememts. Coming here, and after reading the whole thing I just found myseld confirming the fact that she's laughable.

For the record, I do not need to explain myself to you. If you want to fight stupidity with a pitch fork, go ahead.

Have a great day

OK, fair enough, but it might have been the TWO sets of hugs he sent out to her that made the difference to me...

that's a whole different level of encouragement.

(sorry, yuk)

Nobody ever said you needed to explain anything to me, Don. YOu can keep laughing at her, and I can keep finding what she says racist, as opposed to funny.

I guess if she went on and on about hispanics, on and on and on...it might strike you differently.

I guess you're right, he's done it twice to me already although he clearly must want to throttle me at the same time.

That's were we differ, for me, it doesn't matter who she is against. I am laughing at HER, not at her racism.

If she decides to take it against hispanic, over 6'tall men, Marfan syndrome patients, white guys with big hands or Argentinians... I will laugh at her the same way... probably having more fun at that point.

And, as Vertigo said, I hug everybody.... the touch of skin calls me.

RR, I do understand where you are coming from and respect it. But I do believe, your quest is doomed. Rebecca needs someoen to point out she's wrong so she can blame it on your race, sex, religion or personal affiliations. After all, if you do not aggre with her you are black, muslim, gay with a predisposition to bury your head on the sand... right?

and another for you

Sorry not sure what you mean? (not kidding, I'm really not, might be too late for logic now)

I have no quest, I know she's an idiot, yes, but at this point I hope there's the potential that she'll either leave (doubtful) or get banned (quite possible).

I'm a member on another forum with a bunch of hotheads like myself, and there is a very strict rule there on this kinda stuff. Somehow, I think we excuse people for being racists because they're anon here...however, let's say she came to your house with your family there for dinner, and started in on US Immigration Policy, and how Hispanics were dirty, and poor, and worthless, and should be deported, or stoned, or shot, or whatever. It would get old by coffee time, no? hard for me to believe you'd just sit there and not show her the door.

I was one of the first two people to--hah--dialog with her. At that point, two people PMed me to warn me NOT to engage her. Which I foolishly ignored because I was bored that night, and she of course became more and more offensive as the eve wore on.

Perhaps that might explain my sensitivity to someone else seemingly encouraging her...

...that, and I'm about to friggin pop, and am the bitchiest I've ever been, ever.

There is flaw in your argument RR, I will never share a meal with someone like her; and if it did happen, I will listen to her until she gets all her hatred out of her system and then tell her that I am part of that group she hates.

Me and a friend in college went thru this with a guy that hated jews. My friend was jew and we stayed listening to all the hatred and at the end he only said... "You do know I am a semite, right?" the guy was dead white...

Racists have the power you are willing to gave them. We are in an internet forum, Rebecca will never be as a strong advocate of hate if she were faced with the people she hates...

I thought about you Sunday night. On my favorite cable series at the moment, "Dexter", his girlfriend is pregnant. When his sister Deborah (an adorable, tough vulnerable character with a foul mouth) finds out, she's like "No Shit?!? A baby!? A chubby cheeked little rolypoly shit machine?!"

I apologize for my not clear use of the language. What I meant by "quest" was your intention to point Rebecca that she was behaving as a bigot. I read your posts as trying to show her the fault in her ways... and that will never solve anything.

She wants to hate your husband, your son to be, you and all your extended family on the basis of a chosen belief. THAT is overall stupid and deserves no response. This is my point of view. Laugh at her, don't try to fix that which can not be fixed.
