I think falsely reporting a crime is ... a crime. It would be hard to prove against the "reporter," but just a good, hard interrogation would have a beneficial effect.
The Left must continually reinforce thet Republicans are the intolerant ones...while they key the cars of McCain supporters, steal McCain election signs, wear obscene t-shirts, call for the rape of Sarah Palin, and litter their internet forums with disgusting expletives and slanderous posts.
But we're the ones to be afraid of.
