real nice.
Kind of similar to what he had up on the morning of election day.
A female african-american voting on a clearly marked Diebold manufactured machine. So coy...

2. Should the media not post the players pictures?
They seem to be standard NBA pics of the suspended players, not mugshots. The pics were on the "News My Way" to which Drudge linked. Isn't it standard procedure to post pics of accused celebrities? I don't see race-baiting.

3. Why are they "race-baiting" shots?
Because the guys are black? Weren't the players involved black? Are you saying their pics should not be shown because they are black?

Lastly...you're the first one to bring to attention in any way that I've seen, that the players are black. So who is the race-baiter?

5. Simple solution.
Regardless of race, if people don't want to have mug shots, then they shouldn't engage in criminal behavior.

I've got lots of other crazy ideas, too:

If people don't want to suffer from hangovers, they shouldn't get drunk.

If people don't want to be convicted of embezzlement, they shouldn't embezzle.

If people don't want to have to pay for tattoo removal, they shouldn't get tattoos.

If people don't want to walk a dog, they shouldn't get a dog.

See?

I have all sorts of crazy ideas!
