They're my thoughts, but you might agree with some of them. http://www.capemaybeach.net Our local weekly newspaper, Cape May County Herald, has a large section called "Spout Off", which allows people to publish anonymous comments. There are a number of these "spouts" that consist of the following: Barack Hussein Obama. 'Nuff said. It really pisses me off that the paper will print that garbage. I wrote a post in a very prestigious blog concerning the situation, but I felt that more action was necessary. Since I don't know who the anonymous spouters are, I can't give them the beatdowns they deserve, so I wrote the following letter to the editor of the paper: Editor: I am very disappointed to see you publishing hate spouts from some very ignorant people. It is no crime to be ignorant, or even stupid, but hate speech is actually a crime in many countries (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech). Although I agree with those who feel that our First Amendment supersedes any criminality for hate speech, I think that a newspaper can set some rules for appropriate behavior of those who write anything that will appear in that journal. I find the Herald to be a very useful weekly newspaper for Cape May County and hope that it will hold a higher standard for its contents. I know that this will have no effect, but I really do feel better. Next time I go in Wal-Mart, I will fart in their general direction (movie reference).
