Did they ever find out who was burning churches in the South?

[The Backlash Cometh]

Bush seems to keep hogging up the limelight with his scandals. It's hard to catch up on other human interest stories.

1. Nope. n/t

[Aviation Pro]

2. No, but the FBI...

...is hot on the case and as soon as the wrap up the Anthrax Killer they'll get right on it.

3. Do you have a link to a story about this??

I start teaching Social Psychology on Monday and would like articles that show the very real effects of rhetoric...

4. As much as I hate to repeat this...

I have heard a LOT of talk from people around here (in Oklahoma, the reddest of the red) that it's a bunch of "Jesus hatin' libruls" burning down the churches.

That makes me hope even HARDER that they will flush out the culprits!

5. Any white churches burned down? Geez.

I am familiar with the red, red, redness of OK, so I am not shocked - just incredulous as always that the obvious does not make an impression.

:(

6. I know

Some of the most irrational people I've ever met. When the weather is bad, these people blame the "librul commie scum".

7. HeeHee, HKK!

I have nutty fundie relatives back there.

I can vouch for what you say!

9. Just like the Senate candidate who didn't understand females and the

bathroom. Said that there was a lesbian problem in SW Oklahoma because teenage girls wouldn't go to the bathroom without another girl. I've got news for him, they never stop taking another female to the bathroom with them.

[Burning Water]

Try a search under church burnings and Alabama.

If you don't like those, look under usanewspapers.com and go directly to the Alabama newspapers and look in their archives.

14. This will link to the top 3 Alabama papers -
