Surrounded by hate

Tue., April 27, 2010

The Spokesman-Review

I loved Lee Freese’s letter (April 14). Of course, right-wingers don’t know the difference between a communist and a fascist. They need a good dictionary and a history book.

But, what can you expect when educated people believe Internet information that spews our president is a Muslim, the anti-Christ, and not born in America?

They also hear hate constantly on Fox TV.

That’s why current political discourse in America is so hate-filled and pathetic. It’s dangerous.

Ms. Palin wants her country back. She got her country back after Bush left office.

What she should pray for is to get her party back.
