Doesn't this essentially mean that they are willing to hate for pay? We will take on the burden of your hatred and bigotry and you can just send us cash and hide out in your safe little living room behind your veil of civility and Christian faith.
Sounds a lot like pornography to me. And I would imagine lots of money pours into their pockets from the same people who spend time behind closed curtains looking at ... you know.
I was disturbed that people sent death threats to the hateful owners of Dipstick Pizza in Indiana. It simply gave all those other hateful idiots something to rally around.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Mitchell. Hate breeds hate. When I respond to hate with hate, I simply breed more hate. I need to be careful myself about contributing to the bad atmosphere, don't I? Thanks for the reminder.

DeleteI hope you didn't misunderstand me. I didn't get that sense from you at all. You were simply talking about the haters who donated huge amounts of money to other haters. Still not justified! Thanks!
Thanks, Mitchell. I think the fact that I felt guilty probably indicates there was some spite in my post, whatever my intentions. On the other hand, I am a bit of a knee-jerk apologist. Sorry about that!
