(AP) - Police at Western Carolina University say a dead bear cub was found dumped on the campus draped with a pair of Barack Obama campaign signs. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that Tom Johnson, chief of university police, said maintenance workers reported about 7:45 a.m. Monday finding the 75-pound cub dumped at a roundabout near the Catamount statue at the entrance to campus. Johnson said it appeared the bear cub had been shot in the head, and that...

I don't want to lump all the McCain/Palin supporters into a single group, but Jesus Christ. It seems like there's been a lot of terrible things done by Republicans recently. And McCain and Palin don't see anything wrong with it. It's sad on a lot of levels.

They're not even all that similar. The only thing they really have in common is they're both smarter than you.

This was a black bear; arctos is scarce south of the Canadian border, and then only in the northern Rockies. I doubt there's ever been a brown bear in North Carolina.

Otherwise, this would never have happened.

We call them colored bears now - or bears of color.

Not trying to get into the field identification of bears debate, but I suspect that the loathsome racist fucks who killed it didn't know or care whether it was a brown or black bear - they just knew it wasn't white.

@16,

OK, that made me laugh.
