a furious Brazile said. “No one wants to be a victim of hate crimes, no one wants to be victim of being attacked and brutalized because you’re gay or black or Jewish. That’s bullsh*t.

So, all of the dozens and dozens of high-profile "hate-crime" hoaxes perpetrated in the past few years were actually disguised salary disputes? None of the perpetrators had a political agenda?

Nonsense!

Why couldn't it be both?

Brazile is (besides lying through her teeth) trying to foist a False Dilemma Fallacy on us. I suspect that most of the hoaxes were motivated both by political agendas and financial greed.

Good question.

They all had a political agenda.

But why pursue that agenda through an easily detected hate crime hoax?

I would agree with that.

There is always a political agenda. Financial greed may play a role in some hoaxes, but the cry for attention may be a bigger factor than money in many cases.

This particular one was foisted to get a bogus "lynching" law passed.

Check the phone records.
