And by some, I mean all the, "OMG IT MUST BE THE MOSOLIMS," stuff.

This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.

  1. Really? All the Muslims? I maybe missed what the Internet had to say, but every single person I’ve talked to today was shocked that it wasn’t a white guy. We blame terrorism on Muslims, not random acts of violence. Random acts of violence like this are almost always white men. I haven’t heard anyone say anything about Muslims until I read this.

  2. Apparently this was the thing being bandied around on all those wing-nut conservative forums (LFG, etc). I hadn’t heard this sort of thing in any mainstream press.

  3. I spoke too soon: you can always count on fox.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
