Apparently McCarthyism is the hip new thing right now because dey teek er jerbs or some shit, I don't even know.

I love youtube.  I remembered the last part of this routine the second this thread started.

The AP has a laundry list of racial threats that have occurred since Obama's election.  Reading it's enough to really kill a good mood.

Reporter who played Ann Coulter rip-off in the film W. beaten and stabbed.

She's dead.

:mystery: Her credit card was used at a Shell station next to the interstate leading out of town.

Authorities have yet to release any surveillance, but have recovered DNA of the suspect.

A suspect's in custody.

More from NYT.  Still no word on a motive or how he became a suspect; he has a history of minor infractions but not violent crime.

He's African-American and comes from a bad neighborhood, so demographically it's very unlikely that he attacked her because of her role in W (meaning this conversation doesn't really belong in this thread anymore).  Could be a celebrity stalker or a jilted lover or any number of other things, but odds are the police are right with their original suggestion that this was a random act of violence.

Or it could be that a white woman was killed in Arkansas, so the first suspect is always going to be a black guy from a bad neighborhood.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Man beaten to brain-death in Brooklyn, ostensibly for being Latino and having his arm around another man (actually his brother).

The divide's getting really ugly, and I fear it's going to get worse before it gets better.  Bigots are seeing their way of life slip away from them, and they're behaving like cornered animals.

I saw someone comment a few weeks back, in a comments thread about Obama assassination fears, that hey, he's got Secret Service protection, and would-be assassins up to this point have all turned out to be morons; the people who are much more likely to suffer are minorities who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and make convenient targets for aggressive crackers willing to take out their misplaced anger on the first dark-skinned person they see.

Not drawing a direct line between that and this case or anything, I'm just saying things have gotten tense and I fear they're going to get worse.  My neighboring city, Mesa, had the dubious honor of being the home of the first post-9/11 hate crime, where a couple of guys killed a Sikh at a convenience store because he was wearing a turban.

It's always hard to tell if these incidents are getting more common or just better coverage, though.

Well, it's not exactly the Deep South in the Jim Crow era.  And I don't think it'll ever be that bad again.  But I think it's probably both.

Neo-nazi giving CD's to high school students, cheap and free.

Quote
“Remember,” he wrote, “we don’t just entertain racist kids, we create them.”

[...]

Asked what he hopes to accomplish with Project Schoolyard Volume II, Cecchini at first sounded like a typical ’sixties hippie. “Just rock and roll, man,” he said. “Why does anyone express themselves? Why does anyone do anything they do?”

I expect his reaction to being told what race of people invented rock 'n' roll would be roughly the same as his reaction to being told what religion Jesus Christ belonged to.

One from the other side: Palin's church burned, possible arson.

Sort of obvious to say I am not a fan.  I dislike Palin and her insane church pretty damned strongly, but fuck anybody who resorts to violence to make a statement, political or otherwise.

"Arson."  Right.  Sure.  Probably a witch-burning gone awry.

Wonder if this arsonist carved a backwards B into the church door.

I'm guessing someone wasn't paying attention around some propane tanks or whatever just after receiving their Flame of the Holy Spirit. These things are known to be pretty hazardous.
