after the break. They hung a noose. Sad.
Edit: Nvm, it was just a short little segment. At Baylor University in TX they hung a noose and burned Obama signs.
Texas can be a very racist place, sorry to say.

3. Rick Sanchez seems to have been a promising journalist |
|
He did several stories on Palin that no one during primetime was really doing like segments on AIP and Palin's ties to it. But CNN still sucks major balls-- mostly because of Wolf Blitzer though.

4. It's happening A LOT..... |
|
Just here in Raleigh, there was a story about how at NC State they had to paint over racist messages (some threatening); my daughter keeps seeing things about the KKK posted by kids she knows in high school on Facebook; the KKK is dropping fliers all around since yesterday, one story mentioned is Fayetteville.
It's AWFUL.
It's like their intensity is building, much worse than the Palin mob (which she instigated and hope karma is returned a thousand-fold to her).
Hopefully they will start to fade away, but I didn't expect this level of intensity so fast. It's even hard to celebrate. People are being harrassed all over the country, still, for their signs, t-shirts, etc.

5. It will die down, I'm sure. Still I wish.. |

..there were some community mechanisms in place to address and educate people. Maybe the schools can address this somehow??

6. Sadly, in too many places, the teachers are the ones saying... |

Obama is the "terrorist" or at least allow it to be said without discussing facts and such.
Standing up to them every step of the way is the only thing I can see to be done. They're cowards at heart; they will eventually back off, but they are so vile and poison so much in the meantime.
