Can't post it here because Rowe's response exceed TD character limit but it's a fun read.

I'll post the kill shot even though you really need to read the lead up to it:
quote:


Then Rowe turned the tables on his accuser, continuing, “Want to hear another one? Imagine something like this, unfolding over on MSNBC.

“‘Good Evening, America, our top story tonight… Chuck Atkins is a racist! Why? Because he can’t spell. Just look at his grammar! In a recent post on Mike Rowe’s Facebook page, Mr. Atkins, while bemoaning America’s global academic standing, not only misspelled ‘elitist,’ he used ‘tenants’ when he meant ‘tenets.’ He neglected to use a hyphen in ‘anti-intellectual,’ and he misplaced several commas and apostrophes! But why is he a racist, you ask? Simple. Because everyone knows racists are ignorant. Chuck Atkins is clearly a poor speller. Poor spelling and grammar are signs of ignorance. Ergo – Chuck Atkins is a racist! Boom! The matter is settled!”

“Since we’re being candid, allow me to say how much I dislike your post. Everything about it annoys me – your smug and snarky tone, your appalling grammar, your complete lack of evidence to support your claims, and of course, the overarching logical fallacy that informs your entire position,” Rowe wrote.

I did see a misspelling/misuse of "tenant v. tenet" in there. Maybe it was original to the quote.

I liked this part.

Haha that's great. Always like Mike Rowe.

Awesome that he stated his stance on issues without even claiming to be a Republican.

The fact that he has chosen a profession where he meets everyday folks simply trying to tweak out a living on a regular basis seems to have shaped his opinions of Americana. Mike Rowe is a successful entertainer living outside of the of the entertainment bubble. More people in his profession should follow his example.

Mike Rowe is someone who needs to be leading this country. I don't think I've ever not been impressed with something he hasn't to say.

How can someone go after Mike Rowe? He's honestly one of the most likable persons on TV and seems to be 100% genuine.

This Chuck guy clearly doesn't know much about Rowe because if he did, he'd know that a really intelligent, well thought out response was coming his way and it wasn't going to be good for the Chuckster.

Great work, as always, Mr Rowe. You stay classy.

Chuck, that's one of the reasons people like Mike, as compared to the rest of Hollywood.
