Great. Quote the language, and demonstrate the effect. Let's get some Gipper videos up here.

Quote:Reminds me of a line from Revs link, about the first step in any fruitful discussion of why we should take caution not to spread this sort of disinformation is an agreement that we care if people get hurt.  Not their feefees, mind.  Lives destroyed.  Communities in ruin.  That sort of thing.  I think the two of us can agree to that.  We both care.  Right?  We wouldn't want to find out that the positions we thought we were defending against pc culture where the ammunition in some racist dirtballs gun, and that this gun had been pointed and fired, and hit it's target.  Right?
. . .

Black people score lower on IQ tests. True or false?
IQ test scores correlate with income. True or false?

Tell me, exactly what misinformation have I spread? Made-up statistics? Nope. . . that, so far as I can tell, was you.

Your position right now: "Don't tell the truth, because dirtballs will use it to do harm." Yeah, no shit. So know the truth better than they do, and have real solutions for leverage it to serve better goals.

Didn't the chance to get money into the hands of poor kids teach you to use real facts and cite them properly?
