Hate Crime?!?!

Man.

Fuck!

I mean seriously, FUCK. My employer is not a place of hate. There has nary been a heated argument at the joint. We are small and we are green and we are a peaceful institution. This person who instigated this mental, cowardly bathroom "attack" apparently put his ignorant, uninformed, allegedly anti-Islamic self ahead of every single other person that has anything to do with that college. All it's students and employees, alumni, community members and on and on. Assuming this incident (and the graffiti and so forth that preceded it) was, in fact, perpetrated by someone whose motivations are truly hatred of Muslims then one wonders who taught that guy about Islam? I am not the world's greatest theologian by any stretch of any imagination but I know enough to know that hating any Muslims over anything oriented with our wars, our 9/11's is equivalent to hating all Christians because of the Oklahoma bomber and the KKK. It is misguided, poorly executed and rather than striking some blow to the local Islamic community with fear and aggression this person merely caused the local spotlight to fall on our college and heat it up. This will lead to increased security measures, the perception of an unsafe environment, and piss off the other 3,299 students.

Why? Why is this important for you to do right now? Jerking off to the media coverage are ya? Are you one of those ass-clowns who think Barack Obama is a "secret Muslim" who is going to "take over America with Islam?" Are you another mentally incompetent right-winger who thinks we need to WIN and run the world? Do you listen to Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and post your paranoid stupidity on Craig's List? Are you afraid? Were you the one who put a swastika in the victim's locker? Seriously? Do you actually know anything about history? Were ya picked on a lot when you were younger? Do you think you are bigger than you are? A lot of guys like you tend to be repressed homosexuals, they'll never admit it but deep down they need the cock, that you?

You, whoever you fucking are, have accomplished nothing other than making the other 3, 299 students, staff and faculty of a perfectly content, little, liberal arts college feel they have to do something. The local TV are running around collecting local quotes about how they suddenly are afraid to walk around the campus at night...Did that make ya hard? Maybe they will lock more buildings, close more doors, have more cops on campus...Hell, let's put up a fence and have a bunch of rednecks ride around it on four-wheelers day and night...You ignorant, self-immersed, sanctimonious, prick!

Why is live and let live so god damn difficult to do?

This incident, in my opinion, is very likely fueled by the current socio-political culture...It is born in the same territory as those at all of Sarah Palin's hate rallies where they spend time emphasising Barack Obama's middle name and talking about his terrorist connections..."And what do we really know about Barack Obama?" This is why McCain is currently losing this election...Do you idiot, simple-minded, racist fucktards understand that the rest of us have moved out of the 20th century already? Did you miss the memo? Couldn't open the e-mail perhaps? still haven't discovered attachments yet?

Alright, I am surely speculating on the above as all the facts are not in yet on my local incident to prove out that it had anything to do with the larger political noise machine that coincidentally is echoing all around the land lately. Maybe it's the collapsing economy? Perhaps this is a tiny beginning of the Mad Max like ending we appear to be heading for? Just questions and jumped-to conclusions people; don't panic.

Going back to my friends at the hate rallies for a moment (and my friend from work, with his gun and his ski mask, you might want to read this too) doesn't all the rage make you tired? The fear? The fear of people different from you? Believe different beliefs, have different skin colors, speak languages that don't sound familiar...They scare you so bad? They make you hate? Do you feel like you are losing? Do you tire of having to re-interpret everything that happens and has happened to fit your narrow view of the world? Doesn't that take more work then living and let living? And why the ski mask? If you are so tough and so filled with hate...Why hide? Oh, I forget, we are all brainwashed and liberal right? We are all "drinking the kool-aid" on Obama so he can secretly make America a Muslim country and then the terrorists and hope for fucking insano-shit like this and constantly screaming shit like this all the way. I have grown oh so weary of your empty-headed, racially motivated, fear mongering right wingers. The sad part is that all this noise is merely the beginning.

And say, not directly related but yet another folly of our current administration de awesome...Remember when they basically repealed the 4th Amendment a few months ago and they kept saying shit like, "We need the NSA wiretapping to listen to the terrorists!" Well, guess what?

When Ross showed Kinne a video excerpt of George Bush insisting to the nation that only those with links to Al Qaeda were eavesdropped on as part of his illegal spying program, the following exchange occurred:

ROSS: Kinne says she listened to hundreds of Americans simply calling their families …

KINNE: Personal, private things with Americans who are not in any way, shape or form associated with anything having anything to do with terrorism. It was just personal conversations that nobody else should have been listening to.

ROSS: President Bush has reassured Americans again and again:

GEORGE BUSH: It’s phone calls of known Al Qaeda suspects making a phone call into the United States.

KINNE: I would say that that is completely a lie — I would call it a lie — because we were definitely listening to Americans who had nothing to do with terrorism…

ROSS: Kinne says she intercepted, recorded, and transcribed conversations with the military, journalists, and Red Cross and aid workers."

Why should anyone listen to any of you any more? Take your Republicanisms, your "wholesome 'merican Values," your hatred, your fear, your definitional ignorance and roll it all up and shove it your fucking ass AND SHUT THE FUCK UP! You people have lost your credibility and clearly are not very bright so go hide in your bunkers, have some freeze-dried ice cream and shiver yourself to sleep think about Barack Obama's middle name. Maybe you can masturbate to 'Red Dawn' again when the scary enemy was easier to contemplate. Fools. Ignorant, racist fools.
