Someone is already bending over backwards to defend this moron, Ashley Todd. A blogger named CajunTechie writes:
I don’t think Ms. Todd is psycho. I think she’s someone with good intentions and who deeply loves her country. She is, like many people, concerned about the direction her country will take if the wrong person becomes president. I believe she sees this election on a moral ground and, as such, all bets are off.
In an odd way, I understand her thoughts..
In an odd way, I actually respect her.
This woman faked a savage attack for the sole purpose of creating more racial hatred for Barack Obama, but somehow she had good intentions and loves her country? While law enforcement officials could have been out working to keep the streets safe, they had to waste their time and energy dealing with this racist bullshit, but he understands her thoughts? Given the history of abuse that Black men have suffered at the hands of police, there was a strong chance that some innocent guy could have been arrested and assaulted himself before everyone figured out that this was a hoax, but he respects her? If only we all got the same benefit of the doubt that America sees fit to extend to white women.
Dumbest shit I’ve ever read in my life.
I’ll tell you this, I think for the next month every Black man that sees Ashley Todd on the street should punch her in her face and then walk to the nearest police station and turn themselves in. I’d be more than willing to take an assault beef to teach that racist troglodyte a lesson.
In the form of the old “let’s teach Creationism in schools too” debate. The article isn’t very long, but there are still several precious gems of ignorance that make it a worthwhile read. Pearls of wisdom like this:
“It’s really a disgrace for the state school board to impose evolution on our students without teaching creationism,” county school board member Jimmy Hobbs said at Tuesday’s meeting. “The law says we can’t have Bibles in schools, but we can have evolution, of the atheists.”
How are you supposed to have a conversation with someone who actually thinks of evolution as an imposition? How dare those “science” teachers force their “scientific” ideas on our young people? There’s also this gem:
“I wasn’t here 2 million years ago,” Fanti said. “If evolution is so slow, why don’t we see anything evolving now?”
Yes. In 2008 in North Carolina there is an adult of voting age who actually wonders why he can’t watch evolution taking place. I should just print this out, laminate it and carry it around with me. I’ll whip it out when I met someone who tells me how “charming” they think the south is.
From the Palm Beach Post:
Pull’ em up or pay up! That’s the order voters gave tonight by overwhelmingly approving Mayor Thomas Masters "saggy pants" law…Under the new law, anyone with droopy pants that show skin or underwear faces legal action. The first offense carries a $150 fine or community service. A second infraction carries a $300 fine or more community service. Habitual violators could face up to 60 days in jail. The jail provision produced a last-minute backlash to the ordinance. But the law was popular among elderly voters who apparently turned out at the polls.
Fresh on the heels of the news that 1 out of every 100 US citizens is incarcerated, these FUCKING MORONS decide that it’s a good idea to fine and possibly jail people for wearing their pants too low. The article mentions that "the law was popular among elderly voters." What if someone had introduced a measure making it illegal to wear your pants too high instead of too low? How would these FUCKING MORONS feel about that?
