Blogger Who Revealed GOP Leader's KKK Ties Had Home Internet Lines Cut
blottsie writes Last month, Lamar White, Jr. set off a firestorm in Washington when a post on his personal blog revealed that House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, the third most powerful Republican in the House of Representatives, was a featured speaker at a white nationalist conference put on by former Klu Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. Then someone climbed in his back yard and severed his Internet cables.
Given the state of net neutrality today, it seems to be a Senate seat.
$200 Billion in tax breaks.
They're actually tubes, not cables.
Clearly, this was done by the thugs at the NASA at the behest of the United State Government, in the person of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise - a Republican, of course. This just goes to show how evil and corrupt our government has become - after all, even the leadership in China would never do anything like this. Government sponsored censorship is on the rise in this country!
Wait, why is this even a story? Someone vandalized someone else's house because they didn't like something they wrote and published on the Internet?
Yeah, and now the guy's back yard is full of cats.
...it could even have been the blogger, in a stunt to garner even more attention.
Is there a +1 Meta moderation? Or should it be -1 Meta? I'm going to keep reading your post and gp post until my head explodes. Well played, sir.
I think you might be overestimating the minimum intelligence of right wingers.
3. A right wing supporter of Scalise, who should (but still doesn't) know the result will be #1.
I think #1 and #3 are both pretty likely.

It could have even been... (*messes up hair so it stands straight up*) ... ALIENS.
It could also have been your mom.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
It's not about making a statement, it's really about ethics in games journalism.
