PHILADELPHIA CAB ATTACK: SAY WHAT?

Philadelphia seems to have a different standard for hate crime depending on who the victims and who are the attackers. Here are the money quotes:

"THREE JUVENILES accused of assaulting a cabdriver and his passenger in Center City Saturday night while shouting racial slurs will not be charged with a hate crime, the District Attorney's Office said yesterday.


The teens, who are black, were not charged with hate crimes because there was no evidence that the assault had been motivated by the race of the victims, who are white, said Tasha Jamerson, D.A. spokeswoman. Just shouting racial epithets during the commission of a crime doesn't rise to the level of ethnic intimidation, she said."- Philly.com 
 
Where is Al "no justice, no peace" Sharpton hopefully on an AMTRAK heading to Philadelphia start demonstrating. Perhaps the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice will jump on the case like they did on the Black Panther voter intimidation case. On second thought since it was only a white U.S. citizen who was attacked and not an illegal alien they will probably just sit on their hands.

OBAMA HOW SOON HE FORGETS!

How soon Obama forgets his message about hateful retoric when it comes out of the mouths of his freinds in the Unions. Bob McCarty lays it all out. Here are the money quotes:

“But at a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized – at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than we do – it’s important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds.”  -President Obama, Jan 12th Tuson

but, yesterday at the Labor Day rally in Detriot Obama heard this and said nothing:


“President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong.”- Jimmy Hoffa, Sept 5th Labor Day rally

Here is the kicker Obama's proud of him!

BLOG UPDATE: Tip of the hat to ABC's Jake Tapper who did not forget what Obama said. Unlike most of the national "mainstream" media.
