I have been wondering where the progressive outrage is over the way people use the word Muslim or Arab in such a pejorative way. Like the woman at the McCain rally who said she was scared of Obama because he was an Arab...McCain's response was, no...he's a good man.

 I remember Cenk mentioning it a few times, but in the mainstream conversations, saying someone is a Muslim meant-he is the Enemy. Could you imagine the tone of the Holocaust Museum shooting if it was an Islamic guy who shot the place up? We'd be invading somewhere, I can tell you that. 

 But in White America, there is this "I play poker with a black guy, so how can I be racist?" attitude. Many white people see racism as active hate...the bubbling, instinctive& nbsp;fear they have over Islam...well that's just common sense. It is Common sense that said women were too feeble minded to vote, or that Africans were born to be servants to their white masters...this, at one point in time, was the common sensibility&nbs p;of the culture. It doesn't feel like racism if you don't bother to think too much about it. Through the Civil Rights movement around the world, people began questioning themselves, began seeing how prejudice is actually BAD for our country...

 But, to some, that Civil Rights thing was about black people, oh yeah, and Jews, but Islam is our Enemy, so its okay to assume that anyone who follows it is out to get us. 

 Sorry...just wanted to say thanks for pointing this all out, didn't mean to ramble. Its just for SOME reason, insidious racism just gets to me.
