Anyway, as I continued to peruse the thread, I noticed some bigot using the phrase "race card." What a fantastic term. Its use enables the bigot to pretend that pointing out racism is somehow a logical fallacy.
Example:
Bigot: They need to just strip search every Arab who goes to the airport.
Normal Person: Umm, racial profiling is not only illegal but morally wrong and has been proven to be ineffective.
Bigot: Oh, there it is. Somebody's always gotta pull out the race card.
Normal Person: What?
The same putz then ended his post with a hyberbolic metaphor/simile that wasn't analogous to anything being discussed, in an attempt to make the other argument seem as lacking in common sense as their little fable.
Jeff Foxworthy should actually have a joke for this: "You might be a redneck if all of your arguments end with a ridiculous metaphorical one-liner that has no bearing on the situation at hand." Hmmm, doesn't seem to have the right ring to it.
Example:
Bigot: We need to waterboard the sunsabitches.
Normal Person: Umm, no, besides being cruel and illegal, torture has been proven to be an ineffective means of obtaining information.
Bigot: Horseshit. If'n there's a deer tick on yer willie, ya don't hump a bear to get it off.
Normal Person: What the hell does that even mean?
