I've felt for a long time that the people who preach the most about "tolerance" and "diversity" are really the least tolerant people in our society, now here is some hilarious evidence of that. It seems that an employee/student at a university was reading a book, and got accused of being a racist and intimidation of his co-workers because of the content of the book he was reading. Yes, he was sitting in the break room, reading a book, and that makes him a racist. Never mind that the book was a pro-libtard book, just reading a book that mentions the KKK makes you a racist to today's libtard crowd. What was the book you ask? It was a book called Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan. You can get it here at Amazon. How did the libtards know that the guy reading it was a racist? Seems that they noticed the word "Klan" on the cover of the book. And for that, there was countless amounts of time and money spent on the "investigation" of this serious issue. Ok, I'm done ranting...lol. And, yea, this was a couple years back. I may be slow, but I'm not a racist, or a libtard.
Fascist Libtard? Coming from a Fascist Rethug I'll take that as a compliment. Having said that, I agree that this was crap. According the the links I found the ruling against the guy was subsequently reversed and Purdue was reviewing its policies. And it is a couple of years old. 2008.
I am missing the connection here. How is this, and I won't use your pejorative, in any way a liberal book? His books seem to be historical accounts of his local area. What made you leap to this weird conclusion?
I to totally missed that. So if a book about a victory over the Kluxers is a "pro Libtard" book, then can we assume that an account of the KKK triumphing over their opposition is a pro Rethug book? We must ask the Baggers. They would know.
University of Mississippi When did Norte Dame play them and what was the final score that they beat the kkk
Now that I know he said it, every time anybody implements Rush's "accuse others of what you yourself do" mantra, I recognize it and call them out. You cannot in all seriousness and honesty look at what the Rethugs and teabaggers have done to this country (thank you, Kochroaches!), and say the dems are the problem. Not without, you know - lying through your teeth.
If I was a member of a party that actually began with the letters "RE," I doubt I'd draw implicit attention to that by applying the suffix "-TARD" to my political enemies, real or imagined.
Wow. All the name-calling going on in this thread makes it seem like kindergarten in here. The first post is about a janitor who was reading a book about the Notre Dame and the KKK while on break at work. A co-worker complained about the cover illustration and the janitor was accused of racism and of "disdain and insensitivity" to his co-workers, even though it was about how "the Fighting Irish Defeated the KKK." Apparently, the investigation didn't take into account the idea that "those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it" and that sweeping history under the rug is not a key to unlocking understanding. However, he was found innocent of any deliberate wrongdoing and Purdue is re-examining its policies. That's it in a nutshell. Funny how the story still has merit even without the name calling, isn't it?
Yeaaaaaaah. Um - I'm going to need proof of that. I don't for one minute believe your little story. As to the rest, all it takes is a few questions. Who wants to emulate Christ. Who ACTUALLY wants to follow his orders that we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick? I don't even need to give a clue, do I. Y'all are so busy screaming GAY is BAD and WRONG and trying to prevent a woman's right to choice, while you ignore Christ's concise directives. And where do the Christian fundies always land? Yup. The big R. That'd be the party that's trying to remove every social safety net in the land, so the poor stay hungry, naked and sick. Then you have the nerve to wonder why the OWS supporters didn't sign up for the tea party.
To be fair, I think that the name-calling originated in the title of the OP and that kind of set the tone.
I give Pete a half-point, intolerance is epidemic, but I can't agree more than that. IMO, accepting diversity ...and I'll repeat that accepting diversity... by definition is more tolerant. The story does highlight one thing for me though, how ignorance is also rampant. Anyone who becomes offended from the title of a book, without attempting to learn what the book's intentions are, is more ignorant than intolerant. I'm occasionally guilty of that myself.
