The Riverfront Times covers Earl’s outburst in a fine article by Mike Seely.
Tom Spencer, recently retired from his fine blog is mentioned as well providing a little color commentary.
Interesting aspects of the article include WGNU’s management which seems to be taking it very seriously. Other than that was the amazing reaction of Gordon Baum, Executive Director of the Council of Conservative Citizens, who said,
"The strong language shows a lapse in civility but doesn’t paint him as a white supremacist," says Baum. "It doesn’t sound like Earl. He must have been imbibing when he did that. As far as the rhetoric is concerned, I don’t go along with that."
What the hell would paint him as a white supremacist then? I’m curious. When one describes an entire race as savage and brutish, wouldn’t that qualify as inferior to another race? Or is the logical conclusion not supposed to be reached? Whatever.
And BTW, in regards to integration….I do live in an integrated area–my Census block group is 35% African American and my block is probably majority black. Now, admittedly, Earl lives in a black census tract, but I am familiar with having black neighbors and friends. Perhaps it is Earl’s stunning personality that is his problem…
