No what the OP is suggesting is if you are not a liberal willing to bow to every minority special interest group that walks the face of the earth you are a racist bigot and most likely a republican.

It is the OPs way of disqualifying those who oppose their view from any discussion. The left doesn’t want dialogue. They want compliance.

Another posted beat you to this. See post #7. I still don't get how the words SUV or McMansions would be used racists? Suburbanites doesn't make much sense either. Makes as much sense as listing cornflakes and batteries. Very strange indeed.

Random useless thoughts:

A racist in today's world is anyone with a computer and on the CD Forum or on another forum who doesn't agree with everything posted by another person.

More code words, phrases or conditions that might indicate racisim is present:

I hate rap.

Unless it's performed by that guy with the name "cracker" in the band (as one other poster alluded to). Except it's not a band it's a white person and he's Uncle Kracker with a K and not a C. He got his start in Motown with Kid Rock doing rap.

Perhaps his refusal to use the K instead of a C means he hates the letter C and wont give C an opportunity to be used where appropriate? So that makes him letter phobic and he has committed an act of "letterism" . We cannot let this stand.

Others:
Homeowner.

Wage earner.

Tax payer.

Two parent house hold.

Founding Fathers.

OJ was guilty.

Someone mentions Jessie Jackson and not everone responds positively or at all. They automatically become considered Crackers with a C and not a K.

Someone mentions President Obama and you don't get a tingle up your leg.

Anyone who scorns Tiger Woods for playing that new 18 ho golf course.

Any white person who uses the term "ho".

Anyone who didn't watch Cosby in the 80s.

Anyone who watched Cosby in the 80s.

in a world where the National Association of Always-Complaining Persons throws a fit over the use of the phrase 'b***k holes' on a graduation card from hallmark, i can see why you're so careful

Some of the responses are truly puzzling and out of left field, no pun intended.

I'll bite,

"Do you want to supersize it?"
Pencils
IPod
Rain
"Check please"
"Is that a gun in your pocket or are you happy to see me"
"Surely you jest"
Checkers

I read that same one last night and immediately thought about MR. Liberal, Ted Kennedy, and his strong feelings about green power. He was for wind energy as long as it wasn't coming from a windfarm built next door to his home up there in Massachesetts. It almost happened one year and he got his power as a Massachusetts Senator to reacting and the farm was put some place else.

I always wondered if it was because the area didn't belong to the Kennedys. Maybe if it had been built on land the family owned he would have accepted it. The people I know whose land has one of those farms really like what is paid them to rent that small piece of ground.
