Do I truly need to provide the links to both sides are bad? This happens for every world leader. Should Obama get a pass just because he's black?

Yes. All criticism of Obama except that he is not left wing enough is racist.

So how many black politicians are you allowed to burn in effigy before that proves racism beyond reasonable doubt?

I was studying abroad a couple of years ago (about 2006) and some buddies went up to Scotland for the weekend. When they came back, they told me about an old guy they met a a bar up there. They walked in, were in there for like 20 minutes, and he starts talking to them:

"You guys Americans? You know, that Tiger Woods, he's a hell of a golfer. Too bad he's a fookin' n***er."

//I think it's a cool story.
//Also tells you a ton about that place. Not everyone is that way, of course, but in some circles that's still considered socially acceptable.

Dude, you're the one who acted like killing "a lot of civilians via bombings, landmines, and torture" was morally abhorrent to you, but somehow wasn't for those hypocritical libs. Your response is a non-sequiter.

He can't. They're hiding the memo in a secret filing cabinet, next to Obama's Kenyan Birth Certificate and the order to kill Vince Foster.

Hell, this is the USA, southern MD to be exact, and that happens here quite frequently. And they're not just older folks, either.

Anyway, apart from true independence, what do the Scots have left to fight for? They already have beer in their McDonalds.

Also,

A former chairman of the university's Labour society described the burning as "disgraceful".

James Mills said: "I can't imagine any other student activists of a major political party would behave in this manner.

...

The same society has burned effigies of Gordon Brown and former South African president Nelson Mandela in the past, along with one of Mr Mills.

Hah!
