Yeah!...I didn’t see that on the nightly news!

But, Mitt Romney is not to blame, too? Interesting...Liberals know to hold their fire on one of their own.

Yep - a Hispanic shoots a black and it’s all the white man’s fault.

She lectures us about how white people are racist and then lectures us about not judging others by skin color. Clearly the irony is lost on her.

And if she’s misquoting Rush and Newt, I wonder how many other things she’s getting wrong when does her reports....

Hummm... full blown race war, Obama declares martial law, suspending elections... I know, I’m paranoid.

If thats the case, we can blame MSNBC racists for the blacks that threw gas on a white teen and set him on fire...its their racist talk and the left for that horrific crime. The knive cuts both ways...also blame them for all the black on white crimes that they never report on...what a bunch of dumb arses....

I've considered similar scenarios.

However, it seems like a gross strategic error to foment race riot, or to be seen as doing so in any capacity. He might identify with the victim (positing a sympathetic familial relationship), which would recast the event as an attack on new found black liberty/freedom, symbolized by the Obama presidency.

What impact would this have on voting in November, if people of a "racist bent" (republicans) didn't feel safe to vote? We might see Obama's long promised Civilian National Security Force, ostensively there to "protect" polling places, but in effect skewing the vote.

I know, I'm paranoid.
