Daniel this is but one example. You can make a perfectly innocent statement and be called on the carpet for it if one group or another with oversensitivity dislikes it. It is stupid.

A case in point: the word "niggardly".

There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

Keep up, Daniel. The question was asked 'why are these types of statements coming out now'. I suggested it may be a result of repression by political correctness.

And yes, there is some reason to believe his statement was just an attempt at humor.

Dude, whatever. I was just following your line of reasoning.

No, you were not following it at all. The discussion had widened from Imus alone to any number of incidents.

At this moment, all the hoo-hah about Imus seems a bit trifling, doesn't it?...
