"Your reasoning only holds with a postulate that I reject: namely that Holder is racist and his actions are racist."
Fine. Apparently you forgot all about the New Black Panthers, but hey whatever. Dr Martin Luther King said “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Eric Holder obviously disagrees. I hold the Ron Paul is not racist and that his actions are NOT racist. Some of the policies he wants to put into effect would free a large number of blacks from prison. "True racism in this country is in the judicial system," Paul said, "the percentage of people who use drugs are about the same with blacks and whites. And yet the blacks are arrested way disproportionately." "They're prosecuted and imprisoned way disproportionately," he continued, "they get the death penalty way disproportionately. How many times have you seen a white rich person get the electric chair or get, you know, execution?" "If we truly want to be concerned about racism, you ought to look at a few of those issues and look at the drug laws, which are being so unfairly enforced," said Paul. "You feel that Holder is racist, therefore try to draw an equivalence. I feel that the information that I've seen thus far to support such claims on the part of people who make such claims is rather laughably thin. Rejecting your postulate based on insufficient support leads to the collapse of the rest of your hypothesis. Pretty basic math, Jerry." Whatever man. I certainly can put 2 and 2 together. It always equals four. Somehow, the just department keeps telling me it's five. As an aside on our main man Eric Holder, have you heard anything about his ties to the Oklahoma City Bombing. Rumors circulating that he was in charge of a sting gone wrong. "Either you deliberately took my statement in the wrong fashion or perhaps I just did a poor job of making the statement in the first place. I'm guessing it is the later, but tough to say. What I said was a joke. Eric made a statement about "high profile racists" and the high profile made me think about LinkedIn and lead me down an amusing thought train to the absurdity of a LinkedIn profile for someone like, say, Pat Robertson who might write (in this absurdist play) a profile saying something like "I'm a high profile racist known for effective agitation of poor, ignorant people and being able to direct their anger at inappropriate but socially convenient target groups". My bad. I don't get Eric's posts. I blocked them ages ago. Way too much vitriol and irrationality.
