You have no problem at all flat out calling others racist for their politics so you dont get to call foul now.
Be careful how you use the word "you".
As desperately as he has tried to get me to, I have never, not once, called smitty racist. Even as many times as he has called me racist without anything to support his claim, I have never called him one.

Wow, if your beliefs are rooted in such certainty, then obviously what other people observe must automatically be wrong, right?

That is a link to someone else calling smitty a bigot. That comment was not from me. Again, I have never called smitty a racist, in spite of the large number of times that he has desperately and plainly tried to bait me in to doing so.

It's sad to me when someone on the Right acts like those on the Left.
And besides, it shows complete misunderstanding. The author and maybe you think that's tit-for-tat, but it's not. This contains gobs and gobs of paragraphs of faux reasoned arguments, but the Left never provides any backing. Because that's beside the point. The point is to simply to bully and end discussion, certainly not to invite one or provide any kind of surface area for rebuttals. This is the opposite of modeling the anti-intelle

And I'll buy off that there is a thread of truth to your point: one must ensure that, in going to war, one does not become the enemy.
