The genesis of this is I posted a question I thought interesting I heard Obeidallah say.
CJ called it boorish and white male not knowing it came from a Muslim Progressive

No, bright eyes. Don’t distort what I said.

The exact quote is, “crass, boorish conservative white males.” Get it right.

I called that little grandstanding walkout by certain dumb, stupid conservative white males in Congress crass and boorish.

Perhaps if they’d taught reading comprehension in South Carolina segregation schools for conservative white children, or, if you simply weren’t a crass, boorish conservative white male, yourself, you might have had a chance to understand the post.
