This one physically made me sick. From the New York Times yesterday:
An Oklahoma woman invited to a rural Louisiana campsite for a Ku Klux Klan initiation ritual was shot and killed after she asked to be taken back to town, the sheriff of a parish near New Orleans said. Eight people were arrested after the authorities found the woman’s body hidden under some brush on the side of a road several miles from the remote campsite, about 60 miles north of New Orleans. Investigators found weapons, several flags and six Klan robes at the campsite, Sheriff Jack Strain of St. Tammany Parish said. Sheriff Strain said the group’s leader, Raymond Foster, 44, shot and killed the woman after a fight broke out when she tried to leave. Mr. Foster was charged with second-degree murder.
Olbermann takes it to McCain
Last night, I wanted to send Rachel Maddow champagne. Tonight, it’s a bottle of scotch for Keith Olbermann. Keith took it to McCain for the race baiting, hate and fear mongering campaign he is carrying on, while trying to make himself out to be the victim. It’s clear, at least to me, that McCain is playing to the Klan element of his party by continuing to wholesale reject John Lewis. Tonight, Keith did some yelling for those of us who are _ just _ so _ done.
