I completely agree with you for the first time in a long, long time. All Joe Williams did was stated an absolute fact. I’m often called upon to defend myself against the allegation that I tend to mount ad hominem arguments. But it’s never my intent to be personally abusive. The problem is, when you’re discussing a fool, the truth is offensive. That’s not the writer’s fault. The fault lies in the behavior of the fool. How can you accurately report the facts if you can’t call a hat a hat?

2. He was also fired for his Twitter comments which had nothing to do with raise. In fact, this has to do with Politico becoming nervous that they weren’t balanced enough when Joe Williams commented were obviously very slanted to the left. To the extent that you chalk up his firing to racism and fail to mention his Twitter comments is irresponsible.

3. This type of commentary fuels a victim minded behavior.

4. He admits himself that he is partially to blame for being fired. He blames the right for the firing, not racism.

5. After all, he is the one that said something racist. To turn it around and blame “white” press of being racist is bizarre, strained way of looking at things.
