I hope he didn't comment because he felt he had to, because the Zeitgeist for some reason prohibits him from playing the race card even when he should.

The link is<br /><br />http://shrinkster.com/19om <br /><br />The posters at the Atlantic run more Democratic and Independent than do the posters at TNN. <br /><br />Speaking of dialogue and interaction, I gave you another shout out at TNN this morning in comments posted under one of FG's articles -- it's the one about decorum. In fact, I quoted several of your lines from a couple of your postings here at Episconixonian. Not only do you have some readers, some of us even quote you elsewhere, LOL.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />MKMKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668712602334003954.post-83106590770854657122009-09-16T08:53:11.625-07:002009-09-16T08:53:11.625-07:00Thanks for your comment.

Wilson is a racist, then President Carter's comment seems out of bounds, as does this remark by a member from Georgia who associates Wilson with the KKK:<br /><br />http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/15/congressman-people-don-white-hoods-wilson-rebuked/Fr.
