#2 Wait a minute. Who is admittedly racist? Where is it on the public record that a Tea Party member has admitted being racist? Where?

And, as far as I'm concerned, Affirmative Action is about as racist as you can get.

So, again, who is racist. How do define that?

#3 We're just going to have to accept that the Left is going to continue making this stupid allegation forever. There is nothing to do but ignore it.

#4 It's pretty pathetic when the severely overdrawn race card is the only hard you have. You just have to keep throwing it down, picking it up, and throwing it down again. And again, and again, and again....

#6 Definitions, take your pick.
(I choose the first)

Specious argument, noun an argument that appears good at first view but is really fallacious

Speciesism involves the assignment of different values, rights, or special consideration to individuals solely on the basis of their species membership. The term is mostly used by animal rights advocates, who argue that speciesism is a prejudice similar to racism or sexism, in that the treatment of individuals is predicated on group membership and morally irrelevant physical differences. The argument is that species membership has no moral significance.

The term is used to embrace two ideas: "human speciesism," which is the exclusion of all nonhuman animals from the protections afforded to humans, and the more general idea of assigning value to a being on the basis of their species, so that human beings favouring rights for chimpanzees over rights for dogs because of human-chimpanzee similarities, would be an example of "human-chimpanzee speciesism."

The arguments are contested on various grounds, including the position of some religions that human beings were created as superior in status to other animals, and were awarded "dominion" over them, whether as owners or stewards. It is also argued that the physical differences between humans and other species are indeed morally relevant, and that to deny this is to engage in anthropomorphism. Such proponents may explicitly embrace and accept the charge of speciesism, arguing that it recognizes the importance of all human beings, and that species loyalty is justified

Speciest

Anyone who believes that certain species are above others.

Animal rights activists think that most humans are speciest against animals like cows, and while it may be true, most of them are speciest against humans.

Me: I think if I had to kill a snail to save a human being, I would.
PETA Member: How dare you! That speciest! I would kill fifty humans with medieval torture devices just to spare a slug half a second of discomfort!

Different me: "I wonder if pouring salt on a PETA member would have the same effect as it does on a slug?" ;-p

Sure there is. Shove back in their faces that the NAACP is ACTUALLY a racist organization, as it is intended to benefit ONLY members of a specific "race".

#11 NAACP - National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Even the name is so last millennium.

#12 It's like he took a group of people with a common characteristic and made a broad derogatory generalization about them. Seems there is a word for that...

#13 Can you imagine the ruckus if somone like GWB or Mitch McC or Sean Hannity called Obama a "colored-person"?

Oh the wailing would be epic.
