Re: [Phys-l] Conservative/Liberal science?



Thanks for the vote of confidence, John. The "magic negro" term was from, I think, an editorial in an
LA newspaper. Rush was using that to comment on the editorial, not on Obama. I don't think I can
defend everything that Glenn Beck has said, but I again state that I doubt he is bigoted.

On another note, I'm not sure when I've made any comments on religion here. I generally stay out of
that realm. I prefer to let people have their beliefs.

With apologies to Brian, I can't let this one go by without at least noting that I make it a practice to listen to these guys quite often and I will categorically disagree with that observation. Rush "Barack the Magic Negro" Limbaugh and Glenn "This president ... has a deep-seated hatred for white people" Beck may not be bigots, but you'd certainly never know it from what they have to say.

I will also take this opportunity to say that, while I agree with very little that David has to say in the political and religious realm, I have never found him to be the type that demonizes people who hold views that differ from his.
