Burning Cross Left at Home of Interracial Couple on L.I.

What? In Liberal, tolerant, inclusive, diversity-loving New York? I'd expect this in, say, Crawford, Texas.

Awakened by a loud bang and the ring of their doorbell, an interracial couple peered out the front window of their Long Island home at 3 a.m. yesterday and saw a cross burning on the front lawn.

That's a blue state isn't it.

[chuckles]

Why would they expect it in Crawford Texas?

[Lijahsbubbe]

Oh brother, some peoples' children.

[CAWats]

New York Liberals think it's the rednecks in Texas that engage in racists acts such as burning crosses on people's lawns when it's really liberals that are the racists. Look how they "lynched" Dr. Condie Rice.

Why would they expect it in Crawford Texas?

Because that's where W is from and hey, don't you know, it's a hotbed of racism and intolerance {sarcasm}

[GeronL]

Pat Oliphant did it

[GeronL]

Crawford has a black mayor

[endthematrix]

Because the Left (self-tittled leaders of tolerance) calls the South, stupid redneck hillbilly racists that vote Republican. Crawford being GWB the racist HQ for Republicans. Lefts can't believe it would happen from their own and will blame a transplanted Southern.

[CAWats]

I hope Condie becomes President. Have we ever had a Dr. Prez?

""Why would they expect it in Crawford Texas?

Beats me. There wouldn't be any interracial couples in Crawford, and even if there were you can't make very good crosses out of mesquite wood, and it's been too dry to dig the holes to but the crosses in.

[pete anderson]

I don't think the President is from Crawford.

[SteveMcKing]

Nobody likes me anyway, so I'll be the first jerk to say what many people are thinking -- IT MAY BE A HOAX.

'Course there's no evidence of that, but for the circumstance of living with Long Island doper babies.

[Dan from Michigan]

A liberal suburban area. Why am I not surprised....

They are oh so tolerant, unless 'they' start moving in.

[dandelion]

What the hell do they mean "they'd expect it in Crawford Texas?" I'll bet dollars to donuts we have more interracial couples in Central Texas than they do in Central Manhattan.

And we obviously treat them better than they do in the heart of blue country.

[BADROTOFINGER]

You should have waited, I was just about to say it. My initial default position is 'hoax' on these things now...JFK

[Ptarmigan]

KKK is dead in Texas, with the exception of East Texas. The KKK is most common east of the Mississippi River. I hear they are very active in the Northeast corridor, which is liberal. Glenn Beck talked of his first encounter with the KKK in Connecticutt.

[ladyinred]

That is such a despicable thing to do regardless of the location.

[kizzdogg]

I wouldn't call Lake Grove a 'liberal' area. Suffolk County is full of republican neighborhoods. I was expecting this in a town like Central Islip or Brentwood. But not a place like Lake Grove. Still a disgusting thing to do no matter if it's a liberal or conservative area.

SHE HAS MY VOTE TOO:
Condoleezza, aka the "Warrior Princess"
she's totally ass-kicking black - the like of which we've never seen before. Foxy Brown with WMD and a PhD.
