do you feel Ohio's attempt to restrict early voting as an "attack on our ability to have free elections"?

I'm not familiar enough with the issue of Ohio's early voting, to make a decision on it.

As per the New York Times editor, when explaining their factual errors in the Gifford's shooting in AZ, where the shooter was described as a right wing poliltical extremist :

Our stories are reported within a framework that is chosen for them.

Would you like to take a Wild Ass Guess what that framework might be?

<ding ding ding> L-I-B-E-R-A-L <ding ding ding>

My personal favorite is the Ft. Hood massacre by the Islamist radical psychiatrist. That incident is frequently described by the media as a "workplace violence incident".

What's next? Maybe 9/11 will be an "airline violence incident".

Because we all know that the radicalized Muslims are SO peaceful. They just LOVE us so much, they keep trying to show us all their RPG and AK toys they received for presents.

Nah, everybody is pretty much aware that radicalized Muslims would love to kill us all and will given the chance. The problem is the right wing extremists say Muslims, inferring ALL Muslims, are blood thirsty father rapers. The same way as saying Christians, when talking about the radicalized fundamentalists... or Mormons.

Sorry, that was a joke, not a cheap shot. Although it does illustrate that it's hard to tell the difference out of context.

that is a reasoned, prudent conclusion to make, based on what you know. But I see NOTHING like that reasonableness when it comes to Islam when you post crap like this:

Why is this event "Islamist"? You link it to the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Why isn't your "personal favorite" about how the Army is a trained killer factory? Why isn't your "personal favorite" a poster child for gun control? All of those labels could be hung on what happened, all equally useless in their narrowness. EVEN IF the shooter at Ft Hood was Osama Bin Laden's twin brother, to judge the other billion and a half Muslims based on the actions of this one person is ridiculous. It is shallow, simplistic stereotyping. I believe you can do better, but it's going to require more critical thinking and a more open mind.

That proves it. "Going Postal" proves the Unites States Postal Service (USPS) is an instrument of Islamofacism.

We are doomed because we see the world in terms of moderates verses wacko extremists. We must be wrong. 'Going Postal' proves that evil Muslims are conspiring to massacre us all. My god. They may even open a mosque in Lower Manhattan adjacent to whore houses and OTC (off track betting parlors). We are doomed.
