Another Republican campaign has taken a turn for the horrible. A mailer is now circulating that calls for responders to call Michigan state’s John Fisher’s ailed mother of 91.

Fisher’s mother, according to a statement from his campaign to Mlive.com, was suffering from congestive heart failure and in hospice care at the time of the mailer.

Hatred is the thought of disliking someone/something so much your thought is to do them harm.

Evil is the action of the hateful thought.

That action was evil, through and through.
