Though I'll give him credit for one thing, he has certainly earned the name of "Spin Doctor". Taking an innocent Halloween display and turning it into a major racial issue and equating it with the Jena 6 incident requires a bit of imagination.

"Spin Doctor" also pondered on the video on why the NAACP, the Rainbow Coalition, and the Black Panthers haven't shown up yet.

Do you think Al Sharpton and/or Jesse Jackson will comment on the situation?
Given those two guys' track record, it would not surprise me if they do. I heard yesterday that Sharpton was going to testify before Congress or the Senate about the "Jena 6". Oh well. He is still a phony.
