Com'on guys you know there are nut cases on both sides. This guy is a criminal--he robbed her.

How many ATM robberies are reported on national T.V.? For that matter how many violent attacks on our citizens like this one are reported on national T.V.?

I have good friends that I disagree with politically, & I am certain most of you do too.

Both campaigns would strongly condemn this. Both Obama & McCain would agree that this criminal should be put in prison for a very long time.

So let's let this one go & call it what it is. A violent crime against a woman. The purp should be locked up, & the key thrown away, before he hurts or kills someone.

She was assaulted because she was robbed at knife-point by a low life thug. Anything could have set this asshole off. She happens to believe that it was because the attacker noticed a McCain bumper sticker. Who knows? Whatever the circumstances, to somehow insinuate that this was "politically" motivated is way out there. Like I said, almost anything could have set-off an angry assailant with a weapon.

I'm not saying you think like this, but it feels like the insinuation is that Barack Obama supporters are a bunch of violent niggers or terrorists or blah, blah, blah... Or it's because Obama told his supporters to "Get in their face"...

I'm getting pretty sick of this shit.

Regards,
Mike

relevant - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

*shrug* It would appear that related does not equal relevant.

I haven't frequently agreed with your posts, but, well said.

Interesting. I had to read the report a third time as I never noticed that a race was mentioned. It did mention the race of the assailant.

Of course, that must make me a racist, right?

Here you go, too: relevant definition | Dictionary.com
Again, what is the difference (in your mind)?

I'm getting pretty sick of people commenting without reading the reports.

The guy saw the sticker and then turned on her and told her he was going to teach her a lesson.

From recent reports, the B apparently stands for "Barack."

It's clearly politically motivated. Swallow it. Move on.

There isn't one! The issue is not relevant and has absolutely nothing to do with Barack Obama.

You're probably right. But you're certainly not implying that someone from the Obama campaign encouraged this attacker to do that--are you?

There are nut cases on both sides. I am a McCain supporter.

Let's put the blame where it belongs.

This guy is a criminal & I believe that even the liberals on this board would agree--that this guy needs to be found, prosecuted & put in prison for a very long time, before he attacks someone else.

The people who said it would be different if a McCain supporter attacked an Obama supporter are right.

In recent weeks we have heard dozens of press reports about nutzo people at McCain and Palin rallies screaming Terrorist! and Kill Him! and the lady who said how can we just an Arab. If it were the other way around it would represent a culmination of hatred of a lot of people whereas in this case it is just one criminal wackjob that is not part of a movement.

Does this make sense?

Seriously, i may have lost the italics on the "he" but what kindergarten makes someone sit in a corner for not pooping on a rug??

(I'm sure i've missed something here!)

And I'm getting pretty sick of people reading too much into these reports.

The difference between related and relevant? The former is just a connection and the latter implies a certain significance. The campaign may inform my opinion of this case, but there's no good reason why this case should influence my opinion of the campaign. If it does I would say I'm falling prey to the groupthink mentality.

But, according to the definition, there simply needs to be a connection. As this report certainly is connected to the election, your claim that it is irrelevant is only a wish.

This is just unbelievable. Unfortunately scumbags can vote too. I think the crime deserves at least a 5 year prison sentence if they ever catch him.
