Wishful Thinking

At the University of Michigan, they found a noose in an employee’s desk. They “investigated,” breathlessly telling people it was a “noose,” which, of course, implies racism, which they badly want to happen so they can make more racist claims. Following an extensive “investigation” by the university’s Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS), they found it wasn’t a noose, at all. It was just some employee practicing knot-tying on his break. Of course, “If relevant information comes forward, they will reopen the investigation.” So if you race-baiters can pony up some “information,” maybe you can create a racist scare. It was actually a “Uni Knot,” one used extensively in fishing. Admittedly, it does somewhat resemble a noose. But anybody who likes to fish should know the difference and not jump to conclusions. When this story first broke, it was dutifully reported with glee by liberal news organizations. This is yet another example of the panic fostered by liberals accusing anybody and everybody of racism if they had the temerity to oppose them. (Legal Insurrection)
