Joshua Sparling got spit on by angry anti-war protesters. It s possible. There are idiots on both sides of the aisle, after all.
And while the whole soldiers-getting-spit-on-after-Vietnam thing has been thoroughly debunked, I suppose it s possible that some idiot went and did something stupid this time around. Of course, I will say that I d find it more credible if the story didn t keep on changing, or if claims of one person spitting on the ground hadn t morphed into many people spitting on him and throwing cigarette butts at him, or if he hadn t claimed that people had threatened to beat him with clubs, or if eyewitness accounts didn t seem to contradict his stories, or if he hadn t posed with an effigy of Jane Fonda that same day, or if video posted by Free Republic themselves showed anything like what he said happened, or if it wasn t Joshua Sparling, who for some strange reason seems to be the only wounded soldier in all of America to keep having evil peace protesters say evil things to him.

That is to say, the penchant for making comments that are not only racially offensive but also extremely silly and the sort of things that are sometimes excused or at least passed over from men, say, over 80 on the reasoning that they re from a different era and why get into it. Actually, the clock has probably even run out on that excuse when you figure that a man who is 80 today was forty in 1966.

Are you fucking kidding me Leaving aside the nearly infinite list of clean, bright, articulate, nice-looking, mainstream African-American males (Which includes Bill Cosby, W.
E.B. DuBois, Martin Luther King, Jr.
, my co-workers Van and Yared, Black Muslim Keith Ellison, LaDanian Tomlinson, Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Kenneth Chenault, Colin Powell, and seventy-three Wayans brothers, among about fourteen billion others) well, we can t really leave that list aside, can we? Because it s 2007, you fucktard , and we ve realized in the forty years since the Civil Rights Act that there are bright, articulate, clean, nice-looking people of all races, creeds, and colors.
