actually about 98% of one of BHO's favorite electorate groups does.

Golly policemen never get attacked. So why did the officer have to shoot the young man walking along minding his own business?

Wait.. What's this?

Hey Alfred, have you considered the downside of you convincing us white folk to take another look at that lynching hobby that some of us once had? Hmmmm....

Meanwhile in DC, the DOJ says it doesn’t have the evidence to prosecute for violation of civil rights.

Let’s call the Taliban and ask what we can get in trade for sharpton. We’ll even throw in a few terrorists.

Let us see the commie “reverunt” lead an army of fat, out-of-shape SEIU sows onto any battlefield - your choice fatboy - and let’s rock ‘n roll.

I guarantee that fat Al will be hiding under a rock a thousand miles away.
