And he and Fox have given them excuses to act harshly with other citizens. To kill them, even, and it doesn't get any more hateful than that.

Barber spoke on the marriage equality amendment in secular terms. That it took away the rights of many people. I posted that video back then. He said the media was asking the wrong question, as to whether citizens were comfortable with same sex marrige.

He explained the question was really about maintaining the rights of all. And pulled no punches about the nature of the South now, in which the civil rights laws fought for so hard in the last century, saying they would never pass in today's South.

It is more regressive now than then. And that's saying quite a bit. The media has hardened the hearts of so many people against their fellows. It's very dangerous for the least powerful right now.
