I never mentioned it was a racist act, I think you're inflating it for your own agenda.
At least that's how it appears.

a diary? If someone peels an Obama sticker off a car, or spraypaints "McCain Sucks" on a wall, should I write a diary about it? There is so much happening in the world right now, that we debase political discourse by filling this website w/endless anecdotal asides like this. You get one diary a day. That is all.

cause I have a right to write a diary about it.
You don't like it? Keep it movin'.

Stop taking it personally. My only point is a little dose of perspective might be in order here.

I'm just responding to you because you felt the need to respond to a diary where you seem to hate the fact that it was created in the first place.
It's counterproductive to continually post comments to a diary which you loathe it's existance in the first place, no?

I don't hate and loathe this diary: I just find it a non-issue. But as long as we're getting all meta about it, I will say that I think people on this website often ignore well prepared diaries on substanitive issues and flock to diaries devoid of much substance.

like yourself?

You are being really condescending and dismissive. If you don't care about the diary, write your own, or go read someone else's. There is no need to keep on complaining!

News for WhooMatt: dailykos is not a pep rally. If a diarist expects only to be complimented and praised, never criticized or challenged, he or she has never read a diary at dkos.

If I expected to be praised, where's my tip jar?
Go ahead.. I'll wait.

"I never mentioned it was a racist act"
From your diary:
Someone voting for Clinton or McCain may have passed by gave the sign the middle finger salute. But, this act was vicious and meant to make a statement. "Living Black in Indiana", we all know what the message was.
Sure reads like an implication of racism to me, and likely anyone who as more than a first-grade command of the English language.
For the benefit of the many, obviously ignorant, folk here levelling criticism in your direction: What's the message?

you missed the 'no pun intended' comment as well?
Silly skimmers.

Typical dodge. Maybe I just took it (your entire diary) out of context.
