You just can’t believe that you are getting the whole story (or the correct story). From Mark Steyn (via Instapundit):

Gotta love this ”post-racial America”: Democrat union heavies can beat up a black guy using racial epithets and leave him in a wheelchair unable to speak - and happily (unlike, say, a black professor being asked for picture ID) it’s not “symbolic” of anything at all. Not a Sharpton in sight to speak up for him: Mr Gladney’s only shot at fame is an entry in The Guinness Book Of Records under “Least Famous Black Hate-Crime Victim In America”.

There’s more in the post, so check it out. I find it sickening how conservatives are treated by the media (as well as the current administration). You never saw this with the Bush administration…. never. The thugs in Jena deserved to be protected, but not the despicable conservative Mr. Gladney (who is treated by the media as though he deserved his beating). The disconnect is obvious.
