Yesterday, after I pointed out Yglesias' no-harm no-foul attitude towards the n-word, a few of his readers, having not commented upon the inappropriateness of the word all day, finally got angry about it... accusing conservatives of planting the slur on the site.
Odd that they didn't seem bothered by the word at all until the finally came up with a conspiracy theory by which to blame it on conservatives.
And they go on to prove their racial tolerance bona fides by reprinting the comment on our site. It's not been Tollbusted to something else, but yeah, originally it was a reprint of the Yglesias bon mot.
And what kinds of things are they posting?
BTW: This from a post about Michael Steele, posted late yesterday even as one of his commenters had first-posted the n-word about Steele and it remained up all day long:
I mean, I love accusing conservatives of being motivated by racism...
Emphasis in original.
Oh, My: This Yglesias reader also posted this in the top headlines thread:
162 Michael Steele is a house nig! What's the difference between Sarah Palin's mouth and Sarah Palin's c**t? Retarded shit only came out of her c**t once.Posted by: Paulie Carbone at April 01, 2010 10:51 AM (KK69A)
I redacted the c-word. Paulie Carbone didn't.
Wonderful people, aren't they?
