Should this guy really be in the 4th of July Parade?

At 1:37 AM, Anonymous said...: wow, was i ever offended at that. not because i'm a muslim (which you probably think this guy is) or a sikh (which he actually is), but because as a graduate of bju who actually came from and returned to the outside world, i can't help reading this innocent little joke without getting that little twinge of "here we go again" vomit in the back of my throat.

i know that you're just another bob jones kid who wants everyone to know what a hilarious conservative he is, and i also know that right now this whole ann coulter "mein kompf gegen die arabs" thing is absurdedly in vogue, but for your own good you've got to add some diplomacy to your sense of humor. that is if you want to do anything with your talents besides write books for the wacko fringe with ridiculous titles like “let freedom ring.” i mean, do you think you’re ever going to get yourself elected in the future with stuff like this floating around the internet? you need to learn a quick lesson from nick yizzi.

listen, i've been right where you are today. i worked at the wilds, had a couple of cups of coffee at SCSL and now i'm two short semesters away from graduating from law school. take it from me - comments like this might get you laughs back home, but out here, you’re going to look about as appealing as an eight year old racist in a countee cullen poem.

other than that, best of luck to ya.
