You do understand these aren't Muslims, right?

Look at the post you responded to. Read it carefully. See where I said "if they killed these people because they thought they were Muslim or something"

Yup.

In fact, a good friend of mine who is Sikh was beat up, twice, by right wingers right after 9/11 just walking down the street because they were too stupid to know Sikhs aren't Muslim. Honestly though, I don't know if they just didn't know or if they just didn't care that they're not Muslims...

We all recognize you as the arbiter of truth concerning bigotry. You are golden. You are perfect. You are righteous. How's that?

OK. You've been here at DP for like, what, 12 minutes or something and you know Eco's position on religion and skin color? :thinking
 
Watching this on TV, I feel so bad for these people. So peaceful and community oriented--why them? Who would want to hurt them?

I have never claimed to be. But then again I am not in here immediately pointing the finger at right-wingers, or red-necks, or anyone else. I also never claimed to know anything about his position on religion or skin color.

I have yet to see any unsympathetic victims in any of these horrible episodes.

If you don't understand it, then what makes it "douchey"? Is this just supposed to be one more small example of liberal intolerance?

You're seriously asking me how I know that people who were driving around in pickup trucks beating up people who they thought looked Muslim after 9/11 were right wingers? That's ludicrous. You're just trying to play little games here on the forum, that isn't a real stance. Obviously.
 
CNN online says the first officer to respond, no name yet, took fire and was wounded multiple times, but continued to shoot the attacker until the attacker was "brought down". The cop is of course in the hospital and in surgery. They say he'll live. Kudos to the officer!

What could possibly be more right wing than beating up a Sikh because you thought he was Muslim and you hate Muslims? That's so right wing that even Bachmann would be a bit uncomfortable about it... Somebody who does that is hard core right wing by definition...

teamosil does not "Know" anything, instead things are manufactured from opinion...as is most of what we now call "News"'.

Nut jobs happen people...we just get more now.

Your definition, obviously. But it's a free country.

I don't even get what you guys are saying... You don't think beating up or killing people because they are from a different demographic background than you is right wing? What do you think social conservatism is about? Killing somebody for being from a different demographic background than you are is the most extreme form of social conservatism. Maybe level one is wanting to favor your own demographic group in various ways (eg, pushing for government funding for religious organizations from your religion, seeking to have creationism taught in public schools, etc), level two is to try to get government to give clear indications that it considers your group superior to others (eg, English as a national language bills, banning cultural studies courses, etc), level three is seeking to oppress members of other demographic groups (eg, forbidding gay people from getting married, fighting not to allow mosques to be built, etc), level four is physical violence against other demographic groups, level fix is killing members of other demographic groups for being different than you. You see what I'm saying, right? I mean, certainly one can argue that the top couple levels are extreme enough to no longer be called "social conservatism", but it is all the same thing, just more and more extreme amounts of it, right?
