re: #244 Charles

Yes, Rush Limbaugh is race-baiting again. He’s getting much more open about it these days, with Obama in office, just like the rest of the right wing.

I haven’t seen the video, but I’m guessing it’s about the scuffle at Cobo over some sort of government program applications. Local authorities - true to form for Detroit officials, sad to say - gave out seriously wrong information about who was eligible for the funds, implying that pretty much anyone with a heartbeat was going to get money handed to them. The crowd, needless to say, was much larger than expected, people started trying to jump the line, things got mildly ugly and about ten minutes later it was all over. Police showed up, cleared people out of the building and hung around to ensure that the very small staff present didn’t get overwhelmed by keeping too many people from entering.

I don’t even know the details of what the funds were or who they were for, but the blame for this incident rests squarely with Detroit officials doing what they do best - screwing things up.
