What would you do if someone called you a whore? What if that person was referring to your co-worker, your wife, your sister or even your daughter?
In Rhode Island, a group of teachers, nurses and other union women know exactly what that feels like. After organizing a protest outside a political event, they were labeled "Hags," "Cockroaches" and "W-H-O-R-E-S" by WPRO radio personality John DePetro.
Working families and union members in Rhode Island are rallying to pressure WPRO radio to drop DePetro from the air and the show's sponsor, national jewelry manufacturer Alex and Ani, to cease advertising.

needs to be put into a room of union women and taken to task. It's easy for a coward to sit in a booth and spew hatred. Let him face the people he want to trash talk and see what happens.

He feels safe in the confines of his booth. In public, he would slink off like the cockroach that he is.
I'm wondering about hatemongers like this, where do they come from and what made them that way?
