Oh oh, we know how this will play out: because Obama defended himself and hit McCain back, Obama’s still the black guy so HE will go to jail, right? Right? It’s always the same when these old white Panamanian men hit middle-aged black men. [ABC News]

House leadership today was forced to drop language from the Defense Department authorization bill that would have made sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or disability protected categories under the current federal hate crimes law. While the stand-alone hate crimes bill supposedly enjoys wide support from Democrats and moderate Republicans in the House (and was, in fact, added to the bill by the Senate), the fight to include the language failed because many liberal Dems always vote against authorizing the Department of Defense (and wouldn’t change their votes) and because many conservative Dems and Republicans didn’t support the legislation and/or its inclusion in the defense bill. Although the bill supposedly has all this broad support (which one would think would make it easy to pass), there’s no word when or if the House will vote on it. Pelosi says, that she’s “strongly committed” to the bill, though, so I’m sure it will be really soon. [CNN]

Yesterday, we met Justin Zatkoff, the Michigan area College Republican who was savagely beaten by gay black communists after leaving a party. The CR have an official statement:

I think the assailant broke Justin’s nose, cheekbone, eye cavity, and nasal cavity. The attack was completely unprovoked. I urge all of you to be careful and travel in groups when possible, especially until the elections are over.

A vigilant reader asked for more information on the situation from Truth Caucus, and a portion of their IM conversation is reprinted below:

truth caucus: well…
truth caucus: there isnt physical proof that it was from a liberal attacker…
truth caucus: he doesn’t remember anything about what happened
truth caucus: And, I’m think that he might be jewish
truth caucus: and Ann Arbor has a large muslim population
operative: wow!

We knew it! ISLAMOFASICSTS! Get Hitch and Sully on this, stat!

More of their exchange is reprinted after the jump.
