I bet if he were Muslim, talking about "White men" you wouldn't have one problem with it.

Yeah, because that's totally the same. :roll:
I find it interesting that you chose a Muslim instead of the obvious reverse scenario of a black man talking about "white men"
Why is it any different? And I chose a Muslim because that seems to be the politically correct taboo these days.

are we going to talk about religion or race?I bet if he were Muslim, talking about "White men" you wouldn't have one problem with it.

It's completely different because this is about race. Muslim isn't a race, it's a religion. And the only reason people consider it a politically correct taboo is because there are far too many people who blame the actions of extremist Muslims on the entire religion. It has nothing to do with being politically correct, it's called common sense. Making broad generalizations implies that you care more about mud slinging than being fair and accurate.
Ok then, let me clarify it down to take the religion out of it. What if, a man of Middle Eastern dissent, or Persian dissent made a similar disparage about an American? Or better yet a Jewish person? Would that get your ire?

Of course. Racism is wrong and worthy of criticism regardless of who it's coming from. How would it be any different if it was coming from someone who isn't white?
Good, and I will applaud you just as soon as you can show me the threads, or postings where this has happened and you either started a thread expressing such, or posted in one expressing such......Can you?

No, the point is once again you make a bogus accusation and then double speak once you get called on it and are horribly unable to provide anything to back up your idiotic suggestions. Just like you have repeatedly throughout the Hassan thing. You're not interested in debate, you're interested in lies and peddling your pathetic hyper partisan talking points and nothing more.
It's about a trooper who cracked under the pressure of his job. Oh, wait, that's not politically correct.
Did he write the email or was it a chain email sent to him? Terminated for being the recipient of a chain email that maybe he wanted to print out and was too dumb to have a home printer so he sent it to his work email to print and ended up accidentally sending it to alot of other people. Lets fire him for being an idiot with computers.That cop should not have been just suspended. His employment should have been completely terminated. There is no need for that kind of scumbag on the force, any more than there would be a need to hire a rabid black panther to the police force.
I disagree. I think the guy just made a silly mistake while trying to print off the email he got on his personal account and send it to work to print off.
I think the dumbass should have bought a printer at home a long ****ing time ago if you ask me.
How do you confuse the steps related to 'printing' and the steps to sending 700 people an e-mail?
By being a dumbass with computers.
I work with several people who are too stupid to do **** on a computer. But guess what, they have to find a way to figure it out because we don't have time to hold people's hand and teach them every little mouse click.
You have to remember, when alot of these older law enforcement folks originally signed up to do the job, there weren't computers, they had no use for that sort of knowledge because it wasn't needed to perform their job.
Do you think the states/cities/counties/etc put on classes to teach people how to use a computer from beginner level? **** no. "We are switching to computers systems, deal with it"
Did you read the article?I can smell the bull**** coming all the way from North Carolina. Not even if he was completely illiterate would somebody 'confuse' those two processes. Specially not somebody who was 700 people on a mailing list. What he didn't realize the BUTTON he pressed was SEND and not PRINT? You can't possibly buy your own brand of bull**** here Caine. Would you like for me to explain how there is no way a person couldn't have known they were pressing SEND and not PRINT? Because I and pretty much anybody who's been around computers for a day can do that with ANY mail system they're using.
Through out this thread of people calling this guy a racist have any of you thought that maybe he wanted to print it out for a reason other than to be a racist? Maybe to use as an example of racism in some sort of class that he maybe teaches? Or an example to use in a debate about racism? Or maybe to do a little research on the points made in the letter?
Yeah he sent it to 700 people, so what? Even the article acknowledges that it was done by mistake. Which is possible with computer illiterate folks or even by folks that are in too much of a rush to pay full attention to what they are doing.

You cannot ascribe motive or beliefs to a person based on a mistakenly sent e-mail message. I have forwarded e-mail to friends based on both agreement and on strong disagreement. I have printed out some of the comments here that I strongly disagree with so as to ridicule those statements to others. Because I printed out a statement by Lerxst suddenly means I agree with his statements? Again, horse crap!
