Drudge called ‘race-baiter’ for headline about Tarantino’s N-word lust

Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained,” a film set in the antebellum South, premiered in New York yesterday. As always, Tarantino can’t resist his not-so-guilty pleasure: tossing around the N-word.
Whoa..Drudge has me feeling very uncomfortable right now. twitter.com/peterogburn/st…

The sensational headline links to a Hollywood Reporter film review. “Quite naturally, given the historical setting, the N-word gets a heavy workout, by whites and blacks alike,” the reviewer writes.
Wow @drudge that Quentin T. headline is uncomfortably huge for viewing at work!!!

Yes, it’s shocking and uncomfortable. As it should be for decent people repulsed and unsettled by the dehumanizing term.
But rather than go after Tarantino for his apparent delight in liberal use of the N-word, many journalists and progressives are going after Drudge for his headline.
Leading the pack was Mother Jones reporter Adam Serwer, self-appointed issuer of licenses to call out racism. See, only progressives are qualified to comment on racial issues. Or something.

Civil Rights Activist Matt Drudge splashes “nigger” all over his front page, ostensibly as a critique of Tarantino twitpic.com/blbuph

Actually not a fan of Tarantino’s down white boy act, but Drudge is a tier one race baiter and anti-racist criticism from him is laughable.

Heaven forfend a conservative should highlight Tarantino’s fetish for racial slurs!
Serwer was not alone. Many accused Drudge of race-baiting and racism.
DING. RT @neurocat: @adamserwer @angryblacklady It’s likely that Drudge did it because he’s been dying to scream it himself. #psychology

Has Drudge just been anointed a member of the K*K and this is his way of letting us know? I guess…congrats? #121212

Looking at big Drudge hed, think it’s the first time I’ve seen a site libel the article it links to with the link (from Hollywood Reporter).

Let’s see progressives call out Tarantino for his infatuation with the N-word. Until then, this is nothing but predictable liberal pearl-clutching and hypocrisy.
