I still remember the images of Sikh taxi drivers in New York after 9/11 loading their taxis with American flags to stave off the "towel head" epithets and attacks. Now Fox News is pointing the citizenry to the homes of suspected terrorists, as though vigilante justice were the proper response to such suspicions (or as though the people in question even still lived at the address, which now requires round-the-clock police protection). Makes ya' proud . . .
