And Facebook where he was pictured with Romney.

And someone would feel threatened by deportation why exactly if she wasn't undocumented?

Always best to believe the police in everything.

If you say so. The Salt Lake City Tribune disagrees.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but perhaps this was the WHOLE point of the OP posting this thread... considering whenever a homosexual commits a crime people blame it on the whole gay community (see the recent Chick-Fil-A vandalism thread), and when a Democrat commits a crime it's all "typical liberal/Dem" this & that. So while I completely agree with the above comments, I hope you keep that in mind the next time a gay or liberal American breaks the law. Get what I'm saying?

While I agree with your general point, this is an apples and oranges comparision. He didn't rape any one to promote activism on behalf of a Republican cause, he raped someone because he's a dispicable human being.

The Chick Fil A vandalism was done to promote a cause, or at least, express an opinion related to their cause. And I'm sure there are examples of similar things from all sides.

But these are not the actions of the whole party.

Your right posts as these and statments, only make this for a tit for tat scenerio, and so goes on and on.

In this case, this guy, is a scumbag of the worse kind.
fixed it for you.

If it's a political conservative, press and liberals automatically assume guilt. If he's a Democratic Party US President from Arkansas, then the women are lying and NOW, the press, and liberals will attack his accusers while defending him.

So showing support and having close ties to a political candidate for president is now a valid point for attack? Two people in Chicago should be brought out for this year's debates then.

I may be mean, sorry. But this comment made me laugh. Pelosi is a different catergory all her own

In the case of CFA you are correct, but that was just one example... so how about the threads regarding "gay" pedophiles, where people respond with (things like) "and we want to legalize marriage for these sickos?" I see that crap over & over, so I'm just saying we need to watch that sort of generalizing/lumping from both sides.

I'm sure Romney just lost the election because of this.
