This post goes out to AllAmerican, Bodhi, BabyGotBeck, sunflowers, Ron in Cal, Ilovetheusa, T. Gail and many others who post racism and hatred -- anonymously -- on Fox Nation, GretaWire, and who knows where else. Any right-wing, hate-filled, racist site that will have them, I’d wager.
I’m going to begin this post with the theme that ended my last one . . . .
After reading comments that make death threats against the President and Attorney General Eric Holder (see my previous post, above), and the recent comment thread on Fox-affiliated GretaWire that, among other racist remarks, makes the statement that First Lady Michelle Obama is a transvestite, I’ve decided that the proud writers of these comments need to stand up and be counted. You’re surely very pleased with yourselves, right? You’re true believers, am I correct? You’re real thugs, bad to the bone. You’re really taking on the President and his family, and you’re big and bad, huh? Doing God's work, maybe? But wait -- you post comments under cover of the white hood, and are too cowardly to use real names. I think it’s time that you introduced yourselves, to me and to the world. I think you need to post your photos and bios – maybe Johnny Dollar will let you do that over on his site, or maybe Free Republic. In any event, we need to look at you, to see who you are – in all your bald and overweight, or skinny and pockmarked, white glory. Stand up before God and everybody and spew your hatred in the open. Don’t hide your skill at spewing hatred and racism under a barrel.
I frequently write things that others don’t agree with – but I don’t do it anonymously. I’m not a coward, like those of you who post hate-filled comments under the cover of anonymity. As I noted in my last post -- but it bears repeating -- George Bernard Shaw once said, "Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated."
I await proof that those who post comments on Fox Nation, on GretaWire, on Hannity’s website, on Free Republic, who front as "real" Americans, are too intimidated by those of us who aren’t cowards, who actually step up, to do as I ask: Stop hiding.
Comments
These anonymous cowards are nothing but destructive terrorists. War is what they crave. It's evil personified. I hope you have time for more of this. I am very interested.
Gonna go after the folks who post the same type of drivel on DailyKos? Or DU? Or ABC News for that matter? Please, Julie, tell us you're against cowardice of all persuasions, not just the occasional idiots who post on Fox.
Or how about posting the responses?

No, posting the actual truth would be a bit too much to expect, especially as it doesn't fit your storyline about the Big Bad Conservatives in White Hoods. Instead, just fan the flames of your internal furnaces of hatred, Julie, and then project them on others, because that's about all you seem able to do.
I feel cheated having wasted the time to respond.
Julie, why can "minorities" say whatever they want(racism,etc.) and it is OK?
Got something to say?
