Police prepare for rioting hockey/soccer moms

Considering how rampant political correctness is these days, especially in Washington D.C., I was surprised to read this article in The Hill last week. Although publishing the article itself was not too PC, these first two examples of quotes in the column are the epitome of political correctness.

" “I think it is a big deal — you got an African-American running and [a] woman running,” he (ed. note: Jeff Thomason, spokesman for the Oakland Police Department) added, in reference to Obama and GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. “Whoever wins it, it will be a national event. We will have more officers on the street in anticipation that things may go south.” "

"James Tate, second deputy chief of Detroit’s police department, said extra manpower would be assigned to duty on Election Night. He said problems could flare whichever candidate wins.“Either party will make history and we want to prepare for celebrations that will be on a larger scale than for our sports teams,” Tate said."

Translation: The blacks are going to riot no matter who wins the election. Note that both speakers mention that there is a woman on the ticket. As if there is the remote possibility that the suburbs will erupt in flames, and hockey/soccer moms will be breaking storefront windows and looting if McCain/Palin lose on November 4. The next person quoted is more straightforward.

“If [Obama] is elected, like with sports championships, people may go out and riot,” said Bob Parks, an online columnist and black Republican candidate for state representative in Massachusetts. “If Barack Obama loses there will be another large group of people who will assume the election was stolen from him….. This will be an opportunity for people who want to commit mischief.”

Translation: The blacks are going to riot no matter who wins the election. The point of the story is this; regardless of who wins the election, stay out of the city on Tuesday night.

Update: I'm happy to write that there were no reports of rioting after the election, except by a few gays in California who were upset that the voters rejected homogamy.
