In times like this I think conservatives are right and liberals are dumb.

Yeah, it looks pretty bad in this particular case, but we live in a free society.  In a free society, you can't have blatant racial profiling.  It needs to be subtle and disguised.

It wouldn't be racial profiling, but religious profiling.

They are inevitably one and the same.

Has this child aged 2 or 4 years in the last 2 months?

If not then he's still the legal charge of his father and so isn't responsible for whom his father take him to meet.

When he's 16 or 18 years old and meeting these sorts of people, then lets 'judge' him by the company he keeps.
And even then I think some allowances need to made for teenagers who make stupid or experimental early adulthood decisions.

This news snippet still doesn't justify original stupid actions of the school administrators and local police hierarchy.

I don't remember the original news stories mentioning that his father had been a Presidential candidate.

Maybe Junior has decided he'd rather be a bigshot in Sudan than a Muslim nobody in America.

I don't think a 14-year-old gets to decide the calendar of the president of Sudan.  You go to Sudan and the president wants to meet you, you meet him.

This whole fake "controversy" is fake.

This is what happens when you follow Anti-Vaxxers on twitter.

Every African leader is a war criminal, nothing to freak about.

I guess my point is that the story looks more and more like it was engineered entirely to create the backlash it did. Especially given that the "clock" he "constructed" looked like a suitcase bomb.

[Razgovory]

Oh, those ethnic types!  Always conspiring to make bigots look bad, what their different colored skin and their foreign ways!

It's possible, though I don't remember anyone here saying the clock looked like a bomb before.

Not sure how you can be so cynical about one Muslim youth and yet so blase about a million.

I guess you are just gullible, then.  Nothing in this story looks like it was "engineered entirely to create the backlash it did."  The "suitcase" you are talking about was less than 8" by 3" by 1."  That's a pretty fucking small "suitcase."  The "argument" that you "constructed" looks like a moronic one.

Old news, yes, he met with Obama a while ago.
