Entry: Sometimes a Racist, Always a Slut Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/sometimes_a_racist_always_a_slut#25513 Post contents: All good points. I don't like this argument because it smacks of the basic leftist formula: nothing is worse than racism. Thus, OJ Simpson gets interviewed in Esquire and criminals like Michael Vick get sympathy and there is earnest discussion of how they can make a comeback, but Mel Gibson is persona non grata, consigned to his own studio lot for a few foul words. The left proposes an aristocracy based not on merit, birth, moral excellence, courage, wealth, or technocratic ability, but rather an aristocracy based solely on having the right opinions. It's less strenuous and less successful, not least because many of the opinions in question are wrong or easily misapplied. Sent at: 2008 07 24
