Nope. Sounds more like a liberal.

For those who think we've left this kind of thing behind, think again.

What moron would assume that Blow is Jewish?

I wouldn't put it past the Times to make this up out of whole cloth.

Anyone remember Jayson Blair?

Google Walter Duranty some time.

I don't understand why a letter like this is particularly shocking.
So, committing violence against somebody based solely on their race seems perfectly normal to you?

Ok yeah it's liberal christian haters and the politicians that pander to them who persecute gays, Jews, and any other type they feel goes against their beliefs. Sorry, I forgot that fact.

Did the letter have the Democratic National Committee stamp on it, or the Arab League's?

Maybe when we see the same from your side of the aisle when republicans are faced with similar rhetoric...we'll care.
Exactly. Where was her outrage when somebody sent Rep. Peter King a bloody pig's foot and letter full of hateful, anti-semitic slurs? I'll bet she was secretly applauding. We know liberals pick-and-choose which hateful acts to "tolerate" (gay and racial slurs from black basketball players is also acceptable behavior to them).

Whats scary is the trail of wingnuts immediately labeling this racist idiot a "liberal"

Ideology trumps fact and reason in the mind of a wingnut. Pump them full of Rushie Limbaugh and their partisan hatred will know no boundaries

There are many here who sound as though they share his viewpoint, I agree.

Shame on those of you who are trying to use this to score political points off your opponents. This type of thing transcends mere politics. Where is your humanity?

HA! Humanity in America?

Haven't you heard? We are stridently opposed to affordable healthcare for all, quite happy to let the poorest amongst us die. We have no problem with torture and thinks it makes us safer. We have no problem with killing a million innocent people in order to insure oil companies make world record quarterly profits time after time. (They can even pollute the Gulf of Mexico if they want)

It goes on from there. I think I've made my point. If you want to know what happened to our "humanity" just spend a week listening to talk radio, where you are almost assured of getting a shrieking wingnut to further indoctrinate you.

Humanity in America is no longer fashionable. It's every man, woman and child for themselves.
