The role of false equivalencies in fueling hateful political dialogue
By wabby on Mon, 01/10/2011 - 10:03pm |Via Twitter, Michael Moore asks a question, "If a Detroit Muslim put a map on the web w/crosshairs on 20 pols, then 1 of them got shot, where would he b sitting right now? Just asking." Like all good rhetorical questions, we already know the ansewr to it. This morning, we would probably once again be talking about the need for racial profiling and perhaps asking if it weren't time to build concentration camps until we could find out some way to sort the good Muslims from the bad.
This is a piece from Eric B., my go to blogger for all things Michigan, although this particular piece isn't exclusive to the state. It is just an excellent essay.
