Try as I might, I couldn't excerpt Banagor's Left Wing Friend.
The piece is too powerful to summarize, it must be read in full.
His closing thoughts are a dire warning to us all that indeed "it" is happening again in your city, town and neighborhood...where ever the Internet offers a connection into this pool of racial hatred and filth.
This is not about which party ideology or platform is better, it is about looking the other way, a wink and a nod, it is about gaining support by unleashing a hatred that may taint American life for generations.
The Democratic Party must purge itself of this evil, and they must do so soon, for if they continue to build their constituency on anger, class-envy and hate they will not have the moral authority to lead this country and will be rejected by the electorate. The ends do not justify the means.
Will you sit silently as millions did before? As we have discovered the Blogosphere's fads, amusements and opinions are noticed and often elevated into the national dialog. Collectively, we have power.
Use the Force. Link Banagor's post, add your own voice.
