Hideous! truly Hideous!

But this does happen - astonishing as it may be - there is virulent hatred and bigotry toward Native Americans in some parts of this country. Some people may feel that the Native Americans just suffer from the challenges of poverty and neglect - and limited access to opportunities - but on top of that, there are many areas where they are subjected to outright aggressive antagonistic hateful assaults like this and worse.

Wow. You would think that in ND they would be more sensitive to Native American issues than elsewhere. And as a huge hockey fan, I would like to completely disavow and repudiate these neanderthals. What lesson will the children take from this episode?

Clearly, this was a kids hockey game.

I wonder how many of those in the stands were adults along with their kids?

What a bunch of freakin animals! I put blame on the Republicans - Sarah Palin and all of their ilk. They have started something so heinous - hatred - and appalling
behavior - what a disgusting group of people those that are part of today’s GOP.

When people claim “American Exceptionalism”, assholism is what they are referring to.

On the other hand, I dare anyone to go to Ohio State’s football stadium in the opposing team’s colors. You’ll hear much worse. Kids, the elderly, no one is exempt. It’s awful. Team fanatics are out of control in way too many places.

“Working with Rush to invite the kids back for another hockey game.”
Because it was so much fun for them the first time.

Really. Whenever I hear that ‘American exceptionalism’ horseshit, I always think of that dude in Arizona who tried to hold up a 7-11 by brandishing a big cactus. Seriously.

He left because the cashier was laughing at him too hard to open the register.
