I'm assuming this is simply a typo, drunk post or premature senior moment.

Please confirm.

Actually very sharp LOOKING I had meant .Never heard of her before I read the Nascar.com article.Its amazing how easy it is to miscontrue one's meaning by the omission of one word I should've reread my post before posting.

Anyway I digress.I was hoping people would've discussed the topic at hand which WAS NBC news' stereotyping of Nascar fans as racist hicks,Dateline's use of two muslim "looking" men who would try to get said racist hicks to harass them and lastly NBC news(Dateline) complete disregard for any type of journalistic integrity in THIS particular matter in trying to manufacture news on muslim harrassment in the US when they could not find that it was happening in the real world of reality.That's what I was hoping people would discuss.

I don't recall mentioning any other networks in my posts and I don't recall seeing mention in the above quoted articles.But somehow its
turned into "battle of the network news channels" without any mention of the actual subject at hand.

I shoulda known better.I should've posted this in the SportsTalk forum under some Nascar type title.Them myself and a few other race fans here could've screamed "Those bastards" and acvknowledged it and moved on.

Since I'll continue with my New Year's resolution of not allowing myself to become entrenched in political or religious arguments here I'll
comment no further.So flame away boys!
