For better or worse we've never avoided political discussions
on roff. We've always maintained that any discussion which might
occur between fishing buddies on a fishing trip is fair game for
roff.

That of course includes calling one good man's wife a **** and his
daughters little pussies. Seems like only yesterday..........

Oh, I forgot. You aren't reading me anymore.

Two things - one, hyperbole, and two, "good," and more importantly, "man."

I don't understand why you post racist garbage like this
to a fly fishing group. Is there some sort of racist post
to public forums quota you are obligated to fulfill as a
condition of membership in your local Klan ? If that's
the case why don't you just write a letter to the editor
of one of your Mississippi newspapers.

I foresaw Forty's reaction as soon as this post came in
The question really is:

*I don't understand why you post racist garbage like this

That's not a question. That's a statement of the painfully obvious.

Why post any obvious political remarks racist or not to a FF NG?

THAT is a question.

No ****.

huh?? Simian references are automatically racist? Who knew?

p.s. I agree with RDean's overall low opinion of Chavez,
the guy is a tin-pot dictator, faced with the highest
inflation rate in South America, growing food
shortages and rising unemployment. Wouldn't have
used the word 'chimp', but would gladly settle for
calling Chavez a complete asshole.BTW, I heard, and
generally agreed with, the use of the word chimp to
describe George W. Bush. Racist, or merely simian?

You're as disingenuous as he is. You know that it is racist
when a prick like Rick (white, that is) calls a person of
color a monkey and a chimp.

Who knew ? You did.

nonsense. You're making assumptions based on another individual's thought
pattern, which you cannot possibly discern. Further, you ought to know as
well as I that Rick isn't putting all that much deep thought into a ROFF
post.
Person of color? Is every person not Anglo-Saxon now a 'person of color' for
which we should be overly sensitive in our descriptions? Geez, Louise, you
take the White Man's Burden to unprecedented levels, Ken.

Who knew ? You did.

I know Politically Correct silliness when I read it. The man's point was
basic: Chavez is threatening to cut off oil to the US. Doing so would kill
his own economy, so is likely a hollow threat, in the near-term. As I said,
I wouldn't use the word Chimp to describe Chavez, reserving that for GWB,
but certainly didn't recoil in horror at any overt racism when I read Rick's
use of it.
Further, I wouldn't have read it that way if you, Jeff Miller, Giles, or
LaCourse used the term. It was disparaging, it clearly was NOT racist. Get
off your high horse, Ken, because all I'm seeing is the steed's rear end.
