The Guardian Weekend magazine had a nice feature on Desmond Tutu this past Saturday. Tutu is on the receiving end of one of the strangest phenomena in the current political dialogue. When conservatives mention Tutu they almost always do so to criticize him, and they almost always use the same word, referring to Tutu as a “fraud.” Along the same lines, the same folks always refer to Jesse Jackson as a “race hustler.” I wonder where they get their handbook for vaguely, kinda, but maybe not quite racist demonology.
