An excellent example of liberal media bias.

I'd never heard Tarantino use that word in discussions or conversations, but I don't follow him close enough to know for sure if he has or not publicly. I know that he uses a lot in his movies. So do rappers. That's not the point.

The point is that it is all about context, as you said. And if it can't be determined from that, then you look at the person and their history of remarks. Byrd has been making racist remarks for decades.

There is no reason for us to conclude that his remarks on Fox News Sunday were anything but racist.


And the anecdote involving Jesse Jackson has nothing to do with this discussion.

I think that you are being too partisan here. Just because Byrd is a Democrat, just because he opposed the war(good on him, btw), doesn't mean that he should be immune from criticism and attacks.
