Drudge Headline: "MUHAMMAD SHOOTS UP MARINES IN TENNESSEE; 4 DEAD"

What a fucking piece of shit.

Yes, the suspect's name was Muhammad, but did Drudge use a similar headline tactic after Dylann Roof massacred 9 black people in South Carolina?

"DYLANN SHOOTS UP CHURCH IN SOUTH CAROLINA; 9 DEAD"

Of course not.

Make no mistake, this is all about generating more xenophobia in this country.

This is why the GOP won't win the Presidential election in 2016. Their hatred for women, blacks, muslims and gays is entirely too obvious. They just end up alienating anybody who isn't straight, white, christian and male.
