All these threads (including mine) about the color of people involved in crimes perceived to be politically motivated. The discussion of actual events takes a back seat to a ******* adjective.
We're going the wrong direction people
Partisans (people who hate the other side) don't actually see the real world. They unconsciously filter every event through pre-made caricatures which serve the political and financial interests of those who have captured their party. So, when a bomb goes off, the talk radio republican literally sees Islamic Terrorism, even prior to analyzing the evidence. Rush Limbaugh and the professional pundit class has created an army of obedient listeners who no longer engage critically w/the world. For them there is no contradiction between their hatred of Islam and the deep oil partnerships upon which the American economy is built (e.g., there is no contradiction between their love of Reagan and his deep support of Hussein and Iran).. There is no contradiction between their cultural hatred of communists and terrorists and the fact that so much of our economy runs off oil from terrorists, and manufacturing from communist china. For these people, the world is very simple. They live inside talk radio and FOX News caricatures. They have left the reality based universe.
