Spray painting cars is criminal and stupid.
Agreed.
Calling it a Hate Crime is a twist by the media to use Obama's race.
Who called it a hate crime specifically?
A Hate Crime is a very specific thing, Fosh.
Spud actually disagrees with the idea of hate crimes per se as it does a disservice to other victims of crimes and is unneccessarily divisive.
If a gay man gets dragged behind a truck until he is dead purely because he's gay then it is a heinous crime and it deserves maximum punishment.
But no moreso than if it had happened to anyone else for any other reason.
If a black man is hung from a tree purely because he is black then again we have a heinous crime that deserves maximum punishment.
Anyone who takes a life not in self defencse deserves life behind bars.
The entire idea of "Hate Crime" while based on some noble ideals actually just ends up creating more divisions in society when put into practise.
You don't think Obama's book was racist? "my mother was a typical white woman"..."I avoid talking about my white grandparents" (that actually raised him and gave him his education) " I was ashamed of my mothers race"
Neither Obama nor his book are racist.
Obama is half white himself why shouldn't he be allowed to talk about typical and atypical aspects of white behaviour or thought?
Are you really that PC, Fosh, or is this just simulated outrage from the right?
One can talk about race without being a racist, you know.
Or do you?
humm...none of that was racist? Putting out the statement "1/3 of the population will not vote for Obama because they are racist" is not pandering to white guilt?
Who are you quoting there? Is that another quote that you just made up? Wot has Spud told you about that?
I do NOT back McCAIN ....to me NEITHER of them are fit to be President ...but given someone that actually has experience, will not back down to dictators, and has LESS of a socialist agenda (but still socialist) I will take McCain and hope that he appoints a good VP and leaves office after one term...but appoints a conservative justice to get rid of the stupidity on the supreme court.
Experience as POTUS? McCain has none.
LESS Socialist? Really? One of the many reasons that Spud supports Obama is because he is less of a fascist and a lawbreaker than McBush.
BushCo's damage to the SCOTUS is one of the very best reasons to vote fer Obama that Spud can imagine. Interesting to see wot's finding traction on the right. Spud was wondering how the GOPhers were gonna try and pull their shattered party back into their lockstep (goosestep) mode.
Now Spud knows.
Be Well.
