Who exactly are you proposing lynching? Very (not) classy by the way.

I'm open to the ideal . if done in a fair and equal way that would work for both sides. just a thought. In 50 yrs since the end of segregation we're still going at eachother.

We do not need a racist on the Supreme Court of all places and a very few racist may be against the president for the reason but the majority of America is against hussein obama because of his background and policies.


I am positive if you go through thread after thread it is left wingers who always bring up race. They have been riding on the backs of blacks for many years to push their agendas.

I never think hussein obama=black man. I think hussein obama=friends with communists, socialist, racists, eugenisist, marxists, socialists, America haters, and a liar. His race is irrelevent.

I fail to see where the article mentioned that this attacker was a conservative.

The fact is (and I DO live in Georgia- this man will not spend a DAY in jail unless Federal charges are bought. In fact most of the locals down there probably approve of what he did which is why they did not interfere as she was stomped, kicked, called "dirty n***r" in front of her kid. Call the FBI too and DEMAND civil rights charges!!!

It was irrational and we do have 'that kind' of people in the state of GA, many have moved from other areas but I won't deny that lifelong residents of the state of GA could/might/would behave badly at times.

I am a woman and have at times made a remark that seemed to annoy a male--so far never to that degree. If the woman spoke with the authority that I would assume a member of the military might posess then that might be enough to set a guy who was already in a foul mood off. I don't condone or excuse this sort of interaction but have unwittingly done the same on occasion.

One morning I was walking my dog and stopped for a line of cars to enter a school parking lot. One man wanted me to proceed and I shook my head, 'No, I'll wait'. He yelled at me and blew his horn and I just stared at him. We were of the same race, FWIW.

There have been other similarly perplexing moments--sometimes I know I have been guilty of responding too intensely--mainly after some bad traffic and sometimes the other person seems to have also had a bad experience elsewhere.

The individual at fault will face legal consequences. If he hasn't done this sort of thing before then I hope this will convince him not to do it again.

I doubt it. Most every crime has hate behind it.
This is, of course, right. But we all know that the term "hate crime" is very specific. The victim must be "ethnic" in some way, otherwise charges of hate crime go nowhere.

As to your statement """ And it's only his policies we object to.""" That is all I object to. I thought it was a wonderful day when he was elected. I did not vote for him or Mccain. I voted libertarian. I did not agree with either sides policies whatsoever. So to lump all objectors into the "Racist" category is appalling and very immature in my honest opinion. """


LOL! There are suddenly , since January 20th, SO many "libertarians" I can't believe their candidate didn't win the presidency!

"""I am not doubting there are some out there, but as a majority I do not believe they are racists. I think they just do not like his policy's.

Sorry, but the idiotic lies and mistatments, the vitriol, the attacking things like health care for ALL (dog in the Righty manger syndrome) AND the RACIST SIGNS AND REMARKS....point to racism. Racism exists. The President is black. LOGIC says that some will hate his POLICIES BECAUSE HE'S BLACK.

Ya, ignore racism and it will just disappear???LOL! Ignore it so rightists don't look so bad ?? LOL!
Don't you wish!!!

Nope, you folks aren't gettin' off THAT easy!



Then again that is what the left wingers want. A race war would serve the left well and they pull the racd card at every opportunity.
There are lots of places to find it...here's one: Why are Democrats Leaders waving the flames of racism

I dont want to detract from the fact that this is wrong on so many levels, and the fact that kevk still has to answer for his misleading and blatantly wrong title. However the one thing that jumps out at me is could this be an argument for women not serving in the military? She could not defend herself let alone her daughter, I know , I know, I'm just sayin................
