Sometimes when it's so much a part of your life...you lose the ability to such intense clarity that it takes someone else's words and newer eye to communicate more clearly your thoughts.
The other day I posted a video showing a hate and rage filled racist protest in favor of Palestinians and Hamas. That protest was in Florida on December 30, 2008! I sent that video privately to many of my blog readers as well as making the post. Babs wrote me back and with her permission I'd like to show you her words which are so eloquent.
"Politics aren't my thing, but inhumanity is more than politics, and this stuff is still going on today! We have 'The National Front' here in the UK, who want all Jews, Homosexuals and goodness knows who else, put to death! Thankfully they will NEVER get into power, however hard they recruit!
I can't imagine how it must feel for you to hear that. It made me want to face her and force her to really think about what she was shouting out. I wanted to take her back in time and make her watch 'the ovens' at work, then have to live with the nightmares for the rest of her life!" (what I know about National Front is what I knew from the 70's and may be out of date now.)

Those protests are wide spread. We had one in the UK a few days ago too!
Free speech is a fine thing, but it is obviously so wrong to promote the hatred that the recent protests have done.
That is so scary. That guy is very brave for putting that video together - I'm sure he'll have a fatwah on him soon.
I believe in the freedom of speech. But there are limitations to my tolerance. There should be freedom in this world, but we need to draw the line when it comes to hurting another person. Why are certain people prone to the extremes and abuse?
