		<description>&lt;A HREF=&quot;http://www.philly.com/philly/wires/ap/news/nation/elections/presidential/31120459.html&quot;&gt; I am amazed the GOP doesn&#039;t get more black voters with their supporter&#039;s high standards of racial tolerance and morally correct attitude.&lt;/A&gt;;

Seriously, there&#039;s been a ton of racism from GOP supporters. Pointing out irrational behavior on any side though, is like trying to hit the ocean with a stone. Can&#039;t miss. But saying that only one side is behaving irresponsibly is well... irresponsible.
&lt;em&gt;
Iâ€™ve just placed an order for 100 million chill pills to be dispensed immediately to the voting population.&lt;/em&gt;

Yay! I know I won&#039;t be disappointed with whomever wins, but we all gotta vote for someone. Still, I doubt either of these two will do anything to impress the public in four years so if your guy doesn&#039;t win you&#039;ll have a good shot in 2012.</description>

		<description>&#039;In other non-news, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&amp;sid=aAYOYsAX8sQs&amp;refer=home&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;reporting voter fraud is now a crime&lt;/a&gt;.Â &#039;

You&#039;re such a dishonest little worm.Â  

The issue is not reporting voter fraud.Â  It&#039;s grossly misrepresenting what&#039;s going on and the possibility of a supposedly non-partisan government agency being used to play politics instead of just investigating fraud.

As people tried to explain to you many times before, virtually every honest person and expert that&#039;s looked into this issue has said that there&#039;s just no there there when it comes to allegations of some sort of massive conspiracy to commit fraud.Â  That includes many Republican attorneys who investigated, found nothing to the allegations, and apparently lost their jobs because they wouldn&#039;t turn their offices into PR-arms of Republican campaigns.</description>

		<description>Welp, as I said, it&#039;s definitely a crime to file a false police report. She&#039;ll get what she deserves I expect.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;But I take it from the outrage seen here that the incident might (might) have been a lie means that people find it utterly offensive that anyone anywhere would conclude that fanning the flames of paranoia and ignorance about a religion would ever encourage violence?

&lt;/em&gt;I wouldn&#039;t know, Dean. But I do know that I&#039;ve been spending a lot of time at Pajamas Media arguing with people who support  fascist groups like the BNP in Britain and the FPO in Austria.  They yell at me for being too pro-Muslim. Imagine that.

Arguing with Euro-fascists is like arguing with the CAIR supporters. They make hysterical accusations, then they whine (and misdirect) when they&#039;re caught making stuff up.

I don&#039;t think the kids or the adults at the mosque will be charged with any offense (and I&#039;m sure they&#039;ll whine copiously if they are), but this woman will probably be charged for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/1227857,elmhurst-muslim-student-made-up-story-101708.article&quot;&gt;her false accusations&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Also by the way, if somehow the story was staged or fabricated, I do assume there will be prosecutions. Filing a false police report is a felony in most jurisdictions, and it should be pretty quick and easy to prove with so many people in on the conspiracy.

Unless it turns out to be a 10 year old kid&#039;s prank or something.</description>

		<description>You might&#039;ve want to link it here, Aziz. &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.beliefnet.com/cityofbrass/2008/10/murky-detailswash-facehazmat-c.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here&#039;s the update&lt;/a&gt;, for anyone interested.

The details of the incident do indeed appear murky. But I take it from the outrage seen here that the incident might (might) have been a lie means that people find it utterly offensive that anyone anywhere would conclude that fanning the flames of paranoia and ignorance about a religion would ever encourage violence? Or is it the very idea that anyone would ever attack an innocent Muslim for no good reason what&#039;s so offensive? 

I guess it&#039;s just outrageous that spreading fear and ignorance is a bad thing. Heck, if you object to spreading fear and ignorance and bad information, it must be that you oppose free speech itself, right?</description>

		<description>Some supporters on both sides of the aisle need to be straight-jacketed.Â  My wife (an Obama supporter) got a t-shirt made that says:

&lt;strong&gt;I Love McCain-Obama-Palin-Biden!&lt;/strong&gt;

...just to say she will fully accept whoever becomes our next President.Â  I&#039;ve just placed an order for 100 million chill pills to be dispensed immediately to the voting population.</description>
