now on the grounds that fewer old white dumb republicans are probably better for the planet in the long run
You wouldn't dare say old black dumb Democrats, you racist.
Ban yourself, hypocrite.
Indeed. The racist undercurrents have barely been concealed in these threads. And it's a beautiful double standard, to deal in racist and racialist postings is OK, so long as it doesn't go against "protected groups"--unless you don't subscribe to the Authorized Ideology, then those pejoratives can be directed your way. On the other hand, to oppose this legislation based on sound reasons automatically gets you lumped in with racists, and heartless ones at that. Alinskyite and Gramscian work on the dialogue has been a stunning success.
Simon of course, can make his own rules. Jerkhovah's got nothing on him, he keeps his own counsel, and who shall darken it? Let's not forget his slanted treatment of political discussion on this board. And let's not forget Simon's Great Sodomite Purge of 2008.

Inciting hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic.
Unless, to quote Dinah on the other thread, you're a "cracker" or a "beaner", or failing that, get called homophobic terms like "teabagger". If you are American, it is open season to incite hatred against you and your people based on nationality. If you profess a religion, that is OK too! The believer hater threads are legion here.
In all these cases, it's OK to call someone the equivalent version of terms like "nigger" or "kike", because these are politically correct epithets.
