Codswallop

It’s a word my grandmother used to use.

I was reminded of it when I read that a group of people in Wisconsin are “convinced that American racism played a role in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.”

Organizers say the connection to terrorism is simple: If Americans were more tolerant of racial and ethnic minorities, we would not evoke hostility abroad and would not have been attacked Sept. 11, 2001, by Islamic extremists from the Middle East.
That’s codswallop.

Tuning Spork at Blather Review has a link to the story and a “newsflash for the dimbulbs”.
