EC>> If Bob really believed the garbage he spews, he would take
 EC>> the position that his own racist comments in the past have
 EC>> deprived him of all ability to complain about anyone else
 EC>> doing the same.

 EC>> But he doesn't believe himself.

->> Show where you have seen me ever make a racist comment.

 EC> These three of the many instances come immediately to mind: the "oreo
 EC> cookie" reference,

 I do not believe I have ever referred to anyone as an oreo.
 Certainly not in Fido. Show it.

 EC> your interpretation that the term "poverty pimp" had
 EC> to refer to a specific racial group,

 Where has it ever been used to refer to anyone other than a
 black liberal or a democrat who is working for racial justice?
 Sorry, that one is your albatross.

 Oh, and note that it is applied to whites, but only those who
 are working to make American society more fair for blacks. So,
 you fail on that one in any case.

 EC> and your racial stereotypes for the occupations of cook and

 Black people have long been stereotyped as cooks, in movies and
 TV. Helm was the one who applied racist stereotype. If you are
 too young to remember that, it's not my fault. Some of us are
 old enough to have seen it.

 EC> launderer.

 When was such a stereotype ever portrayed in Fido? I don't
 believe even Helm used that one.

 ->> By the standard of Stan Hardegree

 EC> Actually that was YOUR standard.  He was pointing out that you failed to
 EC> live up to it.  You do a lot of failing.

 Nope. He invented it.
