    I wasn't even paying attention to this until I saw people here (from the right) going on about it.

    As far as holding judgement goes......who does that? Ever?

    Certainly not "the right"....proof is this case.

    Running from it? I wasn't even paying attention to it until the right started leaping around like it proves something.

    All it proves is the right cares more about this than actual hate crimes.

    I am on the right and what I have said does not prove your statement. My only statement before it was found out this is all a hoax, was I hope that who ever did this gets prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And I still feel that way.

    He said "faith" in government. Faith is part of religion. Government is his religion. Eeeeeeesh, learn what "critical thinking" means.

    Then you should be madder at Smollett than the rest of us. False accusations like this make all accusations less credible. When I first heard the story, I told my wife it was a fake. Why didn't the media have as good of a bullshit detector as I do? It's their job to be skeptical and to look for inconsistencies, but since this was supposedly a hate crime on two favored groups, they chose to not critically examine the evidence. In the long run, they are hurting all of those that are truly victims of hate crimes.

    Really, like the VIEW and GMA rushed out to call Smollett a liar? The media finally got with the story once he was arrested.

    Democrats would be better served to learn ethics than continuing their dishonest behavior.

    No they are not.

    Not really.

    Only to people who think hate crimes are all hoaxes and/or not an issue anyway.

    I can only speak for myself, and what this case proves is the triggered left is lying full of crap pile, that is redefining bigotry in this modern age.

    I bet you thought that before this case ever happened.

    Fact is, the right would have ignored this if it were true because they ignore the truth about actual hate crimes and violence, and whether this is a hoax or not doesn't change that reality. But this is apparently a hoax, so it's all about their obsession with "the triggered left", and that's worth talking about.

    The real bigotry is the same as it ever was.

    Bullshit.

    It's ridiculous to offer these made up "truths" that are nothing but prejudice and fabricated stereotyping.

    Who ignores hate crimes and violence? The "right"? What a total load.

    As soon as it was proven a hoax, I was disgusted, and have called for extreme penalty for Smollet.

    As for the media and their bullshit detection - they were reporting on the case as it was reported to them by the police. Yes, there were many who were running their opinions, but the 'news' was reported as findings were given to them.
