Fate Is in Your Own Hands
Once upon a time, there was a general who was leading his army into battle against an enemy ten times the size of his own. Along the way to the battle field, the troops stopped by a small temple to pray for victory. The general held up a coin and told his troops, "I am going to implore the gods to help us crush our enemy. If this coin lands with the heads on top, we'll win. If it's tails, we'll lose. Our fate is in the hands of the gods. Let's pray wholeheartedly." After a short prayer, the general tossed the coin. It landed with the heads on top. The troops were overjoyed and went into the battle with high siprit. Just as predicted, the smaller army won the battle. The soldiers were exalted, "It's good to have the gods on our side! No one can change what they have determined." "Really?" The general show them the coin--both sides of it were heads.

Posted by: Horst Wessel | August 18, 2007 at 03:36 PMIt has now been 17 hours since Horst Wessel posted violent hate speech on the Illegal Immigrants thread.
Phillip Brownlee has assured us that all we need to do is notify them of posts that go over the line and they will be pulled.
If they are not pulled in a timely manner however, it does no good.
The Eagle needs to get some moderators in place to clean this up.
Imagine if someone posted that Bin Laden is right and terrorism against the US citizens is right and justified and God wills for Americans to die horrible painful deaths at the hands of terrorism and exhorts readers to commit acts of mass murder.
That's not free speech.
The Eagle has responsibility for what is posted here.
They need to exercise that responsibilty or just shut the damn thing down.
Posted by: CapnAmerica | August 19, 2007 at 09:53 AMPlease e-mail Brownlee and ask him to get off his dead ass and get a system in place that can deal with this kind of hate speech.
By the way, I'm sending this on to groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the NAACP that monitor hate speech.
Thank you.

OTHER BLOGSThe Return of Jim Crow
Where does the Discovery Institute -- you know, the ones who claim Darwin's theory of evolution is racist -- stand on this issue?
Well, John R. Miller, a member of Parents Involved in Community Schools, which sued the Seattle school district over its racial tiebreaker plan, is guess what, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and he's written an Op-Ed in the Seattle Times to tell us.
Discovery's Miller wants the country's history of racial segregation forgotten. Where once the opponents of integration blocked the school house doors to proclaim "segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever" they now demand an absolutely color blind system for placing children in public schools. And if that just happens to re-segregate public schools across the country, as white supremacists such as George,Wallace, Bull Connor, Lester Maddox, and Strom Thumond fought to do, well that's just too bad.
"As someone who grew up in Mississippi and Alabama during the civil rights movement," evangelical theologian Charles Marsh recently told Robin Reid at Politico, "my reading is that the conservative Christian movement never was able to distinguish itself from the segregationist movement, and that is one of the reasons I find so much of the rhetoric familiar -- and unsettling."
Those on the Christian right, such as Miller and the Discovery Institute, standing on the shoulders of the segregationists who came before them, want to whittle away at the gains made by the Civil Rights movement.
To do that they've learned to appropriate the language of the civil rights fighters they once opposed. These days they talk more about Lincoln and diversity than race mixing and miscegenation. Neighborhood schools have replaced state's rights.
They no longer erect billboards calling for the impeachment of Earl Warren, instead they try to take credit for the Warren Court's Brown vs. Board of Education ruling even as they twist its intent and labor tirelessly to lead us back to the days of Jim Crow.
