LapDog: As I read this post from the beginning, I was noticing the same things that you documented in your dissertation a few posts back. You saved me many words, thanks, cause I was going to observe the same things.
In fact, most of the 'political' or current events posts in the past, this (pulling out the racist tag) is quite the common technique.
There are a couple of points that I noticed, that I thought I would point out:
First, I thought that Taco John was fat fingering the KB or something when he kept mentioning fascism. Facism really doesnt fit in the attacks that he was making, but I find this a common mistake made among those that like to 'hurl the bad buzz words' and it just gets thrown in for good measure. Fascism for those keeping score is a govermental system which is a one party dictatorship with a large centralized govt controlling all industry and finance. It's a pretty good bet that frazod, who was the target of those responses, does not support government control or a dictatorship.
Second, The original post lacks any real conviction or stance on an issue. By that I mean that it's not consistent. IE, 'I see black, but also see white'...With the exception of the last two paragraphs, it's relatively innocuous and as such, since it lacks a consistent stance, I dont see how it could be classified as 'good' over 'bad'--it's more like both at the same time since it has no core.
