Crying Wolf

Followed a link from Scott Adams blog to Slate Star Codex.  Here is a very long article that debunks the racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic stories about Donald Trump that have been ubiquitous.  What is really interesting is that the writer is clearly anti-Trump.  He holds that the media has spent so long accusing Republicans of being racists that the accusation has lost its bite, especially since it isn't true.  He repeatedly asks what will happen if a real racist shows up?  No one will believe the accusation.  It is a long read but worth your time.
