The liberals have been trying to milk the victimhood status of minorities for so long, and trapping these people in the mindset that they cannot get ahead on their own but can only succeed as victims, that now victims of majority abuse must be created out of whole cloth in order to maintain the mythology:

A firefighter who reported finding a knotted rope and a threatening note with a drawing of a noose in an East Baltimore station house last month had placed the items there himself, city officials said yesterday.

The man was suspended last week for performance-related issues and will likely face additional punishment, fire officials said. Sterling Clifford, a spokesman for the Police Department and for Mayor Sheila Dixon, said the man admitted to the hoax and will not face criminal charges.

Officials identified the firefighter who they say acknowledged writing the note as Donald Maynard, a firefighter-paramedic apprentice who is black. Maynard could not be reached for comment.

More of the ‘fake but accurate’ mess we see from the liberals on subjects ranging from Bush’s service in the Air National Guard to atrocities allegedly committed by US forces on Iraqis. This is from the Al Sharpton School of how to cheat yourself to get ahead. Personally I think charges should be brought because innocent people can be tarnished by these selfish and false acts of victimhood. Don’t cry “wolf” unless it is for real, and realize everyone can succeed on their own with a little dedication and focus. You don’t need to be a victim to succeed, and we all face moments when life is just not fair. Usually when life is unfair that is a sign from fate that greener pastures are somewhere else and it is time to stop wasting time where we are.
