Having multiple kids makes you a racist!
Over at Pandagon, sharp-tongued blogger Amanda
writes a takedown of a rather muddled op-ed by Mark Steyn in the Chicago Sun-Times. Her takedown focuses on how the author of the piece is apparently bemoaning the dearth of white babies being born, given that part of his article includes a section on a Palestinian grandmother who became the oldest suicide bomber on record over the weekend and how her grandkids will basically grow up and take over the world, and another section on his hard-on for Scarlett Johansson and how she's a tawdry whore for getting tested for HIV and condemning Pres. Bush's opposition to sex ed instead of having
Steyn's white babies.
In the comments, Deep Thought and Tuomas claim that there's no racism at all and that Amanda is attacking a strawman, given that Steyn also criticizes Condoleeza Rice. And from there it all devolves into nearly 200 posts of wank about coded racism and the Quiverfull movement.
Really, I'm just posting this for the
ASCII tank.
