I wonder if the attackers had brown skin.

What if they do? What if they don't? What is the difference? I don't understand.

The difference is, if the attackers were black, that would make it a hate crime, because the victims were a white couple.

If the attackers were white, it wouldn’t be a racially motivated attack. Either way, though, it’s a politically motivated attack. More Palin Derangement Syndrome.

There are far more racial crimes in America that involve blacks attacking whites than whites attacking blacks.

I’m under no delusions regarding our media, though.....when blacks are the victims, it’s the lead story on the evening news night after night. When the victims are white, the media ignores the story.

Can you imagine the media coverage of this incident if a black couple were wearing Obama buttons and they just left a rally for the “One,” and were then attacked by a white mob yelling...”Get them! They’re wearing Obama buttons!”
It would be wall-to-wall media coverage, 24/7.

So far, I haven’t heard anything on Rush.
