After all, instead of showing what an ignorant racist he is, we should not allow the likes of Sailer to speak freely. In Ireland, it is AGAINST THE LAW to say such things as this Sailer says.

You simply are NOT ALLOWED to tell people about different ethnic groups committing outrageous crimes. This could cause a 'nativist' reaction, and lead to more racism, naturally. PLEASE help the cause of freedom, write the UK and Irish state, and get this racist Irish man put in jail for saying Africa is someplace less than desirable. This is racist, and he deserves at least 2 YEARS IN PRISON for this outrage, if not the death penalty. That will be comming soon enough! Maybe we can learn from Ireland and England. Don't MESS with minorities!! PUT PEOPLE IN JAIL for writing negatively about RACE! FOR YEARS!!!!!

Obama is well spoken, calm, cool, collected, and has a new vision for the country. McCain is suffering from Mild Cognitive Impairment and wants to continue the same old Bush like policies.
