Teacher Sentenced For Hate Crime Hoax

Here’s a situation where some gal, a member of a trained McCain Youth Voting Recruitment group, creates a racist hoax in order to deliver an October surprise. While I agree that the gal likely has some mental illness, it’s also clear that she probably knew precisely what she was doing. This was a strategic act…an immoral one, though not an irrational one…at least from the perspective of the Republicans.

Case Example #1: The remarks of the director of FOX, who clearly saw politrical advantages to the “attack”, if it were true.

Mine is disgust and incredulity at the stooooopidity of the GOPers and the wingnuts. Holy SHIT they are assinine morons, twits, criminals, thugs…and they can’t even fulfill the requirements of any of those jobs either.</p> That’s not my reaction.

Ouch.

The stated reason was McCain’s choice of Palin during a time of national emergency.
