Yeah sure thing, sparky. Most whites are not nationalists nor supremists but what would the left and ethnocentrics have if they didn't dwell on the minority instead of the majority? Agenda, much?

I don't see anyone being stoned for allowing themselves to be raped. It is a slanderous comparison to compare the Tea Party to the Taliban.
For the record I am not a member of the Tea Party.
Not only that but one doesn't have to be a white supremist to object to illegal immigration and amnesty contrary to the constant implications in here that they are. If there are any like that they are among the minority not the majority. So who cares what those idiots think? These same people won't admit to the brown supremism of those Latinos that think their ethnic group should be above our immigration laws. What hypocrites they are!

What if I called you a white supremacist though?

Seems like everyone here is ignoring the obvious fact that the term isn't just used as a descriptor but also as a means of attack.

The latter usage, depending upon the intent of the user could range from prudent observation to rude slander and at worst it's usage could be racially motivated.

It may not be racism but the overwhelming majority of the time it's used here on CD it's used against people who aren't white supremacist so it's offensive and slander.

True.

However accusations of being a WS are not evidence of one being one.

The word "racist" has lost its meaning. It has been used as a political weapon by the left to shut down debate on practically any issue with which they disagree with the person being falsely labeled.

The people who are falsely labeled racists are rightly offended to be attacked so viciously.

At the same time, the real racists go right under the radar, because the left has politicized the term, rendering it virtually meaningless.

Yep - and that is a logical fallacy - one that the left uses constantly.

Many liberals need to work on their critical thinking skills, or perhaps they know what they are doing, and hope that some people are too stupid to understand their game, which given the demographics of the Democrats voting based, is a rather racist tactic.

More Democratic racism.

Using a word doesn't make one a racist. What one feels in one's heart, or doesn't feel, is what makes one a racist.

Hell, you can be called a racist for kicking back and having a beer on a hot summer day. The word doesnt mean a thing anymore.
