Or...is this just a Vancouver thing? Passive-aggressive is very Canadian. You could just as well have written this as an "Foreign National Employs Disinformation Campaign Against Patriots" or whatever.
PS: the Sun is not what you'd call left-wing, just so you know.
PPS: the new comment order positively encourages not reading the comments before commenting. Who am I to go against the flow?

Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites.
And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."[7]

Edited to add: For some reason, it says I approve and promote your comment. Not even close.

I mean, not the second apology which happened a week later, but the first apology. What's that about, do you think?

Like I said, both are wrong, but one was shouted nation-wide in an instant, where is this is being continually promoted to bring light to negativity on the other side. I'm sure you could find some eco-nazi website that discusses their hatred of anyone who drives a car and thinks they should be killed, just as you can easily find the main page for the KKK pretty easily.

Second...that's some brave shit, going after an 11 year-old.
How much consideration do these people merit---they're grotesque, but they're laughable. How much of the voting population do they make up?
Who am I kidding...it's bad enough there's an audience for political herpes like the Palins; THESE people are just the sprinkles on their shit cake.

These spineless cowards cannot be taken seriously. They may readily release such nasty racism online under the guise of anonymity but in real life they would never dream of openly exposing their vile innards. So their words are pretty much worthless as they have no integrity. I feel sorry for them for they will never understand or treasure the scale of human diversity.

I think momof3 and jasonelias are describing a different issue, though. All of the links included in Foster's post and in his comments seem to work fine in Firefox 3.5. Apparently, the links don't work for them, however.

Think for a second that these guys have been in a non-stop war for the last 60 years or more, have a decaying middle class and rising poverty. Most of their morale is based around what we here would consider racism. Plus the influx of russian jews doesn't helps, since russians are knows for their extreme views on race.
Not that arab muslims are any better: they call black africans "cochroaches" and most of them hate non-arab muslims (although not as much as they hate christians, jews and anybody else).
Problem with this behaviour is that it could eventually lead to an anti-israel sentiment in the US, therefore cutting all aid from DC, and triggering a panic attack from the Likud and other israeli conservatives.
Add almost 100 warheads to the equation and you have World War III

Second, I myself have been suppressed whenever I have sought to break into major blogs with my own hysterical hyperbole of attention-whoring devices.
Third, just what precisely is "newsworthy" about stray assinine jerkoffs acting up after ODing on narcissism and booze? It is more common than all the cats not lost this day, and is happening somewhere in millions of dorms even as I write.

Is it agit-prop? Sure. Does it have a point? Yes, it does. I'm actually pretty shocked HuffPo took this stance. I mean, it was shot the night before a major speech in the region; you can't argue that it's not newsworthy, no matter how much you want to attribute the attitudes expressed to alcohol. I mean, I know it's self-selecting, but since I graduated from high school eons ago, I've never spent time with people who spew this kind of racial bile, no matter how drunk.
