Racism comes standard in George Bush's America
George Bush's America. Ann Coulter's America. Is there really a difference these days. From the Associated Press:
A protester staked out the home of a Muslim candidate for the Maryland House of Delegates, holding a sign and wearing a T-shirt that mocked Islam.

Timothy Truett sat in a folding chair Saturday on the cul-de-sac outside Saqib Ali's home in Gaithersburg with a sign reading "Islam sucks," and a shirt with the slogan, "This mind is an Allah-free zone."

Montgomery County police sent a trespass notification form to Truett warning that he would be subject to arrest on trespassing charges if he steps onto Ali's property within the next year.

Truett called his protest "an experiment," explaining: "I had heard that Muslims were generally intolerant of views other than their own, and so I thought I would put it to the test."

Ali took several photographs of Truett but refused to speak to him, saying he did not get the impression that Truett wanted to start a constructive dialogue.

"We don't waste our time talking to people who hate us," Ali said Sunday.

3. Actually, it wouldn't suprise me if he wasn't even registered to vote.
But of course, that doesn't preclude t-shirt politics.

2. I bet he'd cry and complain if someone camped out at his house
with a "Jesus-Free" T-shirt. Or maybe he would just shoot first.

Those oppressed white Christian males and all....

4. Why doesn't this guy's head spin around and off his stupid neck?
"I had heard that Muslims were generally intolerant of views other than their own..."

Pot, meet Kettle.

I mean, don't these idiots HEAR themselves? Do they have the brain power to even recognize cognitive dissonance?

Moran.
