It opens us to charges that we are simply opposed to Julian because he is black.

But we are opposed to Julian because he's black. Dontcha get it :-)

Nope. I simply want Julian Phillips to conduct himself more professionally.

I like Lauren Green and Wendell Goler, and I suggest that Julian take some lessons from them.

That was clearly never an issue

I hope that prejudice is not the reason for these complaints, but I fear that you are right and that it may be a factor in some cases.

Certainly, the call-him-President-everytime complaint is so nitpicking and insubstantial that it begs for some other explanation for the hostility. (I sure didn't use "President" everytime I referred to X42. Indeed, it pained me to use "President" in the same sentence with DIRT-XXX-POTUS' last name.)

Maybe you've hit on the right explanation in some cases. On the other hand, I don't find Phillips' to have a very appealing on-air personality. (I sure would NOT ask that Fox fire him over it.)

All in all, and as you implied on another post on this thread, we should probably discuss more substantial issues. Maybe the other guy's ties or the blondes hairdo could have some threads started about them?

PS: enjoyed your great photos from the CU rally of April 12!
