Pictured are two teenage skinheads who had plotted to kill several African American students and assassinate Senator Barack Obama.
Ok...I'll say it. OBVIOUSLY they are from Arkansas and Tennessee. Other red neck, country bumpkins describe these individuals as "outcasts". No kidding....
I'm afraid this will not be the last of the neo-nazi groups attempt to kill that which they fear or do not understand. I think it is a travesty and these people and all their freakish followers should be made an example out of.
Every once and awhile I think you need to look around and see what kind of a party you are at. If you are at a party where you and your friends are chillin' and having some drinks, and you look over and see the white supremacists skinheads are doing a keg stand, and the NRA fanatics are shooting bud cans off each others heads because they are "allowed" to, and the Christian Right is in the corner pouring over the blue prints of the local planned parenthood clinic...Why the fuck would you stay at that party? You need to LEAVE that party. Because it doesn't matter what you believe in when that's the shit going on in your party. You are ALIGNED with that party and if you are willing to be- something is a little OFF here.
We can all argue about economic plans, health care, wall street, foreign policy- we need both sides to discuss this stuff. But there are certain things that I think are non-negotiable. Civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, the ability to be who you are, fully American without fear or persecution. It is something I hope Americans will remember on November 4th.
