Racist McCain accuses Obama of racism
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008Let me get this straight. If Obama mentions that he is opposed by racists, that is “playing the race card” and out of bounds? Doubletalk. Obama is opposed by racists, and John McCain himself is a racist. That doesn’t make Obama the perfect candidate, even among those of us who think racism needs to be a major issue in the campaign, but it does need saying and it needs to be said often and with heads held high. Let the racists scurry for cover when the subject comes up; they will be running on their records.
Not so heroic
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008I never really bought in to the police-are-heroes myth that flourished after September 11th. Here are a couple of cops that apparently didn’t sign on either. A New York cop, Patrick Pogan, attacked a bicyclist in the street, knocking him to the ground, and then arrested the victim. He claimed the bicyclist attacked him, but video of the incident proved he was lying.
Meanwhile, Ozark, MO police tasered a 16-year-old boy who had fallen from a bridge and was lying on the ground with a broken back. Their mommas must be proud.
