Call out people on the HATE being openly displayed.
I have spent my time calling my Senators and Representative about the remarks at the McCain-Palin rallies. I have asked them when they are going to speak out against this type of speech. I told them that political disagreements are one thing, but to have someone shout "kill him" is another. I pointed out that none of the remarks were addressed by McCain or Palin. I told them I am waiting to hear if they have the moral courage to speak up on this issue. I am also calling pastors and other religious figures in my area. I am also reaching out to people like Senator Olympia Snowe and others about their stance and whether they will be addressing this issue. It may not do any good, but I am going to call them out on it. I'm not sure who else I will call, but I am going to keep dialing.
Maybe some type of organized campaign set up by someone better than me would be good. I think there needs to be some push back on this. "It's time to help not time to hate."

3. LTTE. too
this is shameful behavior and the fact that MSM is covering it makes me wonder how they will react to being named as co-conspirators and or aiding and abetting criminals.

No, I'm not kidding.

Every fan of air given to this flame of hatred is helping it live. The only right thing to do is ignore it, stop feeding it, shame it foreefully and loudly.
