racist - A statement of surrender during an argument. When two people or disputants are engaged in an acrimonious debate, the side that first says "Racist!" has conceded defeat. Synonymous with saying "Resign" during a chess game, or "Uncle" during a schoolyard fight. Originally, the term was meant to indicate that one side was accusing the other of being racist, but once it was noticed that people only resorted to this tactic when all other arguments had been exhausted, it acquired its new meaning of "indicating one's own concession of defeat."

LGF used to be one of my favorite daily blogs, it is indeed unfortunate Charles drifted so far off the reservation, as to be unrecognizable. Every great once-in-a-while I'll check to see if he has regained his senses, alas! Charles is lost to us. A pity.

He who raises his voice first, loses! Ever tried to listen to some of the premiere racists of our day (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton - that crowd) without earmuffs?

Slightly disagree. Many leftists/liberals/progressives I know use calling "racist!" as their first and only tactic. There is NO concept of intelligent exchange of ideas...just name calling.

Divorce really changes men. He's a broken man. For pity's sake, let's not poke at his derangement.
On the other hand, calling people 'racist' is one of the lowest things you can stoop to on a blog.
But I take no joy in Charles' misery and paranoia.
