The Audacity of Hate
(in response to the man who freely asked Republican Rep. Paul Braun -- at a Town Hall meeting -- Who is going to shoot Obama?)
When folks are comfortable -- in front of TV Cameras -- pushing a young activist to the ground and holding her head down with boot-clad feet ...
When Candidates are comfortable illegally detaining reporters who are attending a public, political event ...
When Politicians are comfortable insinuating that the President has an affinity for terrorists ...
When elected Leaders are comfortable de-humanizing people of non-Christian faith & holding an entire religion and race out to be terrorists ...
When Clergy have no trouble inciting violence & hatred in the name of the God they serve at the funerals of our Soldiers ...
When Pundits have no trouble implying that someone's lack of "white-ness" or mixed-heritage is cause for questioning their right to hold elected office ...
When Party Darlings use violent imagery (whether verbal or visual) to reach their potential voter base ...
THEY have given voice to the man who asked in public wthout care or shame: "Who Is Going to Shoot Obama?
