My word
Via Jay comes what is possibly the most asinine thing I’ve seen in a while. What an idiot.
Update: Oh, dear lord. There are a great many more idiots. If your moonbat quotient is already high, don’t look any further:
Holy Mother of All that is Stupid – I think that would make a fine title for that blog.
Comparing gun owners to Nazis and Klansmen? Godwin’s law meet dumb ass, dumb ass meet Godwin’s law.
Lastly, this genius writes:
I think Glenn Reynolds is either the most clueless law professor at the University of Tennessee or the kind of sick racist who doesn’t have the balls to wear a Klan robe or burn a cross. There are thousands of gun shirts. You want to walk around with an MP-5K shirt, you can find one. AK-47, no problem. But that noxious shirt is one no decent person would wear, because there is no joke in it. A number of handguns and “celebrate diversity” on it implies something pretty dark and evil. Especially with the colors used on the white shirt, red, yellow and green. You would have to be a moron not to see the pan-African connotation with. I mean, you have easily made that shirt with the tag line “variety is the spice of life”, the joke made, and not even the most hypersensitive liberal could say a word. Reynolds even jokes about wearing it to a faculty meeting, something he doesn’t have the balls to do because he would be called on it.
That shirt is the kind of thing you see at Klan and militia rallies. It isn’t about political correctness either, because it implies the only kind of diveristy is a heavily armed one which is clearly anti-black in tenor and temperment. (sic)
No Steve, the only moron here is you. Lighten up.
And that is the last time I ever read Atrios. I feel so dirty having been exposed to such idiocy.

Duncan Black (who is white) really needs to lay off on the race issue. Just the other day he got his panties in a wad over the fact that someone described Alan Keyes (who, unlike Mr. Black, is black) as “eloquent.”

That post and its comments are a great example of the old saying about everything looking like a nail.

Heh…did you know there’s a connection between the NRA and the KKK? After all, “the NRA came into being the same year the KKK was declared an illegal terrorist organization.” Wasn’t that one of the fictitions in Mikey Moore’s Oscar-winning masterpiece?

Yeah, nevermind that the NRA was started by union soldiers to teach civilians marksmanship.

XRLQ,
Some Bloodhound Gang lyrics come to mind:
I’m not black like Barry White, no I am white like Frank Black is.

Yes, SayUncle, any T-shirt that can help monkey-haters ward off monkeys is worth its weight in gold.

Actually, I hope that he is right. Since gun control started out as a racist law (designed to disarm recently freed slaves) I think that black people buying guns IS a good was to celebrate diversity. I feel safer knowing that in Dallas, most law abiding black people have guns.
