That is your excuse to not say that the trumped up "outrage" over this is wrong? Because, it took place 3,000 miles away over a whole lot of water?

I'm sorry, but no one has the right to not be offended - and if you ar offended, that is entirely on you.

This is a 10 year old kid who wanted to honor his hero - who happens to be an athelete.

Liberals are so sensitive and uptight.

Why not let a child be a kid, for once?

Why do liberals have to make innocent gestures into political firestorms?
Right because only the liberals were attacking this kid.

I'm fairly confident that Conservatives were attacking this kid, too. It's just like them to pounce on some defenseless, young child like this.

People like you - who are UnAmerican through and through - make me sick. You and Claud are both damn near pathetic. Shame on the both of you.

Where is the deflection? We wouldn't be having this conversation if a 10 year old didn't have a freaking Twitter account where all sorts of twits have nothing else to do but jump on whatever the daily bandwagon happens to be.

You put up a ten year old doing anything on Twitter, YouTube or a improperly restricted Facebook account and you are "shocked" that people do mean and nasty things?



Where is all that personal responsibility crap you are always spouting off about?

I am an American - and have acknowledged your service in defense of our republic.

Where do you have evidence that conservatives attacked this child?

They didn't - at least not in the United States.

Liberals in the UK - most certainly did throw their"politically correct" feces in the face of this child.

Libreralism is the same all over - it always involves anti-choice and absolute tyranny.

It is pathetic and BS.

You are the one defending a 10 yr old having a Twitter account.

Why is that?

actually, I and the other 310 million americans do have the right to be offended.

and again, where does it say these people are liberals, why is it that you think only liberals are offended by black face ???

Who, other than liberals, go digging for excuses to call people racists? Who, other than liberals, would pick on a little kid, because their agenda trumps all? Who are the pathetic thinskinned, looking for ways to be offended? Whiny brats, the lot a you, that have to bully and muscle others to submit to your demands. I pity you, lacking any modicum of self-respect to have to pick on the weakest among us. Have you no shame?

People be proud of who you are, and quit hiding behind the race card. Most of us are getting sick n tired of coddling you babies. The world doesn't revolve around the color of your skin, it's your character, get some! Quit looking for scapegoats to blame for all your troubles. Grow up and get on with your life. Poor kid deserves none of this crap. Enough!
