I get your point, Dave. And I have no problem with any of the theories, conspiratorial or otherwise, that FReepers have been putting forth over the last couple of weeks. I guess I've just grown weary of some of the REAL racism and bigotry that some people here are so quick to express even when they don't know any of the relevant facts. But, hey, it's a free country and this IS Free Republic, after all, ehh? :-)

P.S. And you and I both know that the metro DC area is a PC town, whether we conservatives like it or not. That's just the way it is, but, at least we have the Constitution to defend our rights, too.

Come on Caesar, cut the "speculators" some slack.

It wasn't Freepers who said the guy looked "Hispanic or Middle Eastern" / dark-skinned caucasion, it was eye-witnesses. And speculating about al-Qaeda and allied jihadists isn't racist, it's based on: 1) We're at war with them; 2) They murder innocents; 3) They've launched a lot of attacks over the last 2 weeks or so.

And given the possibility (50/50?) of jihadist connection, it ain't racist to believe what we've heard about the shooter's (/shooters') appearance.

If the IRA blew up the WTC, and the witnesses said the sniper had red hair, would it be racist to believe them?
