As time goes by-more and more of those "Hate Crimes" driven by Trump's election that everybody was wetting their pants about are turning out to be hoaxes.

The first link from Powerline has a couple of examples and contains this quote that is pretty much proved out over time:

"Remember the basic rule: 95 percent of reported hate crimes are hoaxes, especially so on college campuses."

I think the following is my personal favorite-

"A Muslim woman who drummed up mainstream media hysteria claiming she was attacked on a New York City subway by President-Elect Donald Trump supporters is now under arrest for fabricating the hate crime and filing a false police report."

Um... Breitbart isn't exactly the most unbiased or reliable source.

Kind of wondering if your reference was tongue-in-cheek, but nowadays I can't tell anymore.

That you cherry-picked a couple of phony reports doesn't change the hundreds of other valid ones.

That you said there are hundreds does not mean there are even five.

Actually I'll change my response. He did not cherry pick. He picked pretty much the only ones that were reported in the first place.

So you're sayin' that if you lean left then you believe all the obvious lies about hate crimes while if you are tilting towards the right you then believe all the obvious lies about voter fraud?

Got it.

Re: "Unbiased" political websites, conservative AND liberal, and reports therein based on facts:

The Villanova student who was attacked eventually withdrew her complaint.

But the graffiti were real. No one has suggested that the victims vandalized their own homes.

Meanwhile, a Republican student at Bryn Mawr College was cyberbullied:

Which graffiti incident are you referring to? The one in the article Flock linked to was a combined graffiti/burning. A member of the church, a black member, was arrested and charged for the arson, but the article gave no indication the arson was separate from the graffiti and that he was not a suspect for that as well.

And we have another fake hate crime against blacks perpetrated by a black.
