      Where are all of the MSM Drudge fans in calling out their hero for what he has now become: a Grade-A race baiter ??

        That was a cheap shot, though.

          No? You don't see this here as race-baiting either?

          Drudge continues to use race as a another tool in his fear-mongering tool belt. Right up there with pictures of troops marching in North Korea and Iran firing missiles ...

      And the video is from MyFOXChicago. Part of the report reads as follows:

      But while that investigation goes on, students say they will remember Derrion Albert as a good kid. A quiet, smart kid with no gang affiliation. But just a kid who may not have had enough street smarts to go another way.

      Really? Why not laud him for getting in the middle of a melee to rescue a fellow student? This could as easily be an example of the kind of bravery the military awards medals for as an example of lack of street smarts, FOX. I deeply regret this loss of life, and my sympathies go out to his family.

      So the right is going to oppose bringing the Olympics back to the US just because the President supports it?

        The right would protest a verified visit from God if Obama supported it.

        I think that there are many who have already opposed it.

        It's unprecedented, I tell ya, unprecedented, for a President to personally lobby for the Olympics.

        Okay.....

        Tell me how many hometowns of a US President have been up for the Olympics. Tell me how many presidential advisors (Valerie Jarrett) just left a role as someone working to bring that event to the city? Tell me how many Presidential wives attended the meetings?
