Where a right winger might use the label terrorist lover, or commie, anti-American to those who don't share his view of what a patriot should be......is it also possible that the groups which claim to represent freedom and justice and equality can also play the same type of card. Do you think this ever occurs?

Is someone automatically racist if he has an argument with the NAACP over a particular issue?

Yes.

Can the term "bigot" ever be used by some people within certain groups to belittle valid dissent, the same way a right-winger might use the term "terrorist coddler".

No, of course not.

Now isnt this a bit unreasonable.
Don;t you see Unionist. You are giving the NAACP the same type of unfallibility the Pope once had. And the NAACP is composed of humans are they not? Can they not also make mistakes?
And what if the group does make a mistake, how can you then point it out or argue or dissent if people will dismiss any rational argument as being automatically racist? And cannot the same also be true of feminist groups. If they are composed of humans who err, than at times they can also make mistakes. And if they do how can one dissent against those mistakes of dissent is automatically labelled misogyny.
You are being just as totalitarian as the right wing is, you just choose different groups. But either side is composed of humans who make mistakes.
Do you really believe these things you are saying?
The rest of you. Don't you have any opinions on this? Please feel free to speak.

So from another standpoint----lets use The Advisory Council For The Status of Women.
I am sure they are a well-intentioned group who means to advance the quality of life for women.
Is it mysogyny to oppose them on an issue? If so, then what happens when the Advisory Council is wrong? Are they ever wrong? Is the Advisory Council an infallible institution? If not, then if it is mysogyny to oppose them on an issue, then when they are wrong, how can one bring dissent against them.

Oh for Christ's sake.
Don't you get the hint? We're not interested in dealing with your baiting and trolling posts in the feminism forum, anti-racism forum, nor the aboriginal issues forum if that's where you're planning to go next.
Read through some past threads if you want to know how we feel about those quotes or those feminists. There have been tons of discussions about them. Use the damn search engine. Do something besides whining about oppression of white men.
Seriously, dude. Buzz off.
