It's crazy to think the mainstream liberal media incited any kind of race war. But of course, it must be due to conservative media that the original poster made the accusation. Pot, kettle.
kidkaos2, what I'm going to do with you? First off there is no indication this guy was on the left. There's a good chance that he's kind of crazy and doesn't vote at all. That aside when someone on the left, especially elected officials says or does something questionable they are taken to task for it. Regarding the lunatics on the right (there seems to be an awful lot of them) there seems to be a pattern. One crazy statement or action is one thing but when there are a string of lunatic events it makes you wonder.

And it's not a race war, you can change your soiled undies and come out of your bunker now.
I posted several pages back that "race war" was a poor choice of words. You can call it 'racial tension' or whatever, but I believe that is increasing, especially since the Martin/Zimmerman case.

Anyway, I'm happy to have accommodated your need to hurl 6th grade insults.

Then you said that I expressed "advocacy for a race war" which of course I never did. Lastly you claimed that I said I did not personally get along with people of other races, which I never said, and is not true.

Happy trails to you--I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for. There is a very useful feature on CD for situations like this, and I am availing myself of it.
LOL...i'm heartbroken.

Oh good grief people get a freakn grip, race war because one person is "supposed" to have said this and claims they have no issues. The only thing this thread proves is some will point to some unusual supposed event and then try to say "see I told you so" as if they were making a valid point. Credibility seems to be seriously lacking.

Anytime. I call 'em as I see 'em. This isn't the start of a race war, or tension as you call it. The guy is mentally unstable, obviously. Do you see an army of Black people marching down main street carrying clubs hunting for wehite people?

No?

Then relax.

You folks are so darned predictable. One wonders if you all get together and agree to post this kind of thread. Black man kills white guy, ergo it's a race war. Or black guy kills (fill in blank) why no outrage? On and on. Posting stuff like this to further whatever right wing agenda you have makes you look as credible as the birthers, and that's an insult to birthers.

You guys are the ones who can't seem to let the Zimmerman/Martin thing go. Pathetic and so incredibly sad for you.

This kind of inanity deserves a 6th grade response.

And while you're at it, feel free to put my ass on ignore too.
