Oh Lord, Stop The Insanity ! Can't left-wing nuts accept a simple, heroic story without introducing latent racism and prejudice? This is beyond the pale.

Some of the more repugnant denizens of Democratic Underground were claiming that she was rescued only because she is white.

No, because they are evil and corrupt to the core. Their souls are a pestilence, and they poison everything they touch. Every accusation they make against others is a perfect description of themselves. They are so completely consumed by hatred and self-loathing that it's not enough for them to hate themselves, so they project their own sickness on others in order to hate them as well.

But, we knew it was coming! Racist country, racist leader, racist military... The usual crap, and it ain't even the Clintons saying it!

When I saw this story for the first time, I thought to myself, "self, I wonder how long it will take for some idiot to suggest we only went after her because she was the WHITE girl?" The answer? TWO HOURS. I heard a caller to a local talk show (I would say conservative talk show, but I don't want to be redundent), suggest just this thing.

I heard it again today on O'Reilly's radio show. His response was to ask, "why do you think they went after her?" The moron, sorry caller, said most eloquently, "I dunno". O'Reilly's answer contained just the right amount of incredulity and sarcasm.

"BECAUSE THEY KNEW WHERE SHE WAS! You can't rescue people until YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE!" Thankfully, he hung up on the idiot at that point.

I cannot imagine how stupid and/or brainwashed one has to be to intentionally overlook such an obvious truth. But millions do it everyday.
