Rupert Murdoch apologises for 'grotesque' Middle East cartoon

[Behind the Aegis]

23. Perhaps we are getting somewhere; we shall see.

An analogy draws comparisons, but not always the sameness. Had I used Fred Phelps and a homophobic reference, then you would have been unable to draw the erroneous conclusion you did. And yes, you did miss the point. The last word "racist" was in reference to the analogy I provided.

I am not splitting hairs in regards to racism and bigotry; you are failing to understand the difference. Racism is always "bigotry." But, bigotry, is not always "racism." Being homophobic is bigoted, but it is not racist.

The foolishness and ignorance of your "analogy" is not based on my "picayune points of language" but rather, your not understanding the language being used. For your analogy to work, you would have to understand that International Holocaust Remembrance Day does NOT commemorate the remembrance of the massacre of Israelis because Israel didn't exist. It remembers the massacre of Jews, as well as others. If this cartoon had been published on May 14th, then it would be a statement against Israel and the Israeli prime minster. For your "analogy" to work, it would have to be a cartoon published on an "aryan holiday" (if one existed) not a German one.

As for being your ex-wife, that would be difficult on the account of my having a penis. But, I have to say, I can see her point and I haven't heard a word from her.
