Admit it, America—you’re a bunch of bigots.
OK, so a couple of guys who just HAPPEN to be Muslims and just HAPPEN to be originally from Yemen try to board flights to Amsterdam from here in the US. One of them just HAPPENS to have a cellphone strapped to a Pepto-Bismol, three other cellphones taped together, watches also strapped together, and some large knives and boxcutters. So what?
Oh, and he just HAPPENS to have $7,000 in cash. A Muslim. From Yemen. Luggage on one flight. Him on another.
And you have these guys arrested and detained for THAT? You racist, Islamophobic bastards, you.
Instead of profiling these Muslim men from the Middle East, why don’t you do something that will actually stop a terrorist attack—like, say, open-palmed groping of Irish grandmothers at Logan? Now THAT would make some sense!
Bigots.
"The truth is something [Warren] probably prefers not to confront. Harvard doesn’t come calling just because you’re a smart lawyer and a terrific teacher — not with Warren’s modest, Oklahoma upbringing and non-Ivy League education. She is not your typical Harvard professor. At a certain point, when the law school was under pressure to promote diversity, she represented a three-fer: a great lawyer with a national profile, a woman, and a minority, at least by virtue of family lore.
