Is this my comeuppance?

I'm sure the right wing is happy to claim you as one of its own, another
of
the racist freaks inhabiting this group.

jps, you're wrong. As a representative of the "right wing", I can tell
you
that I want nothing to do with anyone who writes the sort of nasty
personal
attack directed at you by jhvb-whomever. You didn't deserve that, even if
you are a liberal. I think I'm going to resume my former policy of
avoiding the OT threads - there's too much nastiness here. Besides, I
don't
want to be mistaken for a racist freak!

Thanks Steve. Recent threads have exposed a couple of the RWers on this
group as flat out racists. I knew they were intolerant whities but it came
as a surprise to find out how far out of touch from reality they are.

Sorry if you think I'm lumping RWers together, I recognize there's many
shades. Some here debate reasonably well and we have fundamental
disagreements.

In any case, I promised not to accuse you of being a racist freak again.
Rational arguments on either side are appreciated by many who struggle to
understand the "other side."
