In any case, be more careful when discussing touchy subjects like this one. If you mean to use hyperbole (and I honestly still don't see what the benefit would've been) make sure it's clear. I'll take your word for it I guess.

1. Pretty sure the topic was people discussing the possibility of Mccain being racist. I felt he fit a certain profile and i made it known that it is within the realm of possibility that he is a racist (see thread title: I was answering it)
2. Fair enough. I like to make a few educated guesses from time to time. Makes the discussion more fun...sometimes.
3. "That the demographics you described are largely racist." Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by this comment.
And for the record I was being overly simplistic and only trying to use a little bit of hyperbole.
I have absolutely no problem saying that I think it is entirely possible that John Mccain is a racist because it likely could be true. On the same token it may be completely false and I'd be making an incorrect generalization of the traits he possesses as a human. I'm prepared to take that risk.
