Did I hear a warning...

...in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's words about language and words that fall on ears that can't discriminate between rhetoric and truth? Will the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly be (finally) held responsible for the deceitful webs they weave when they say things like, "In Obama's America, it's now okay for black kids to beat up white kids"? They should. Next week I'll be hearing from my mother that black kids are beating up white kids all across the Union, and Obama ordered them to do it, because he's going to make sure the black people get their dues.
I guess this is the flip (and evil) side of freedom of speech - the right to say things that can cause widespread and irreparable harm to many people and not be held accountable. In otherwords, be a blabber-mouthed, ignorant ass and make lots of money and get away with it.
We have got to start boycotting these people. Choose your words more carefully and civilly or we won't watch or listen to you.
The saddest thing to me is the way in which the hopeful, beautiful mix of races and ethnicities that came together in Grant Park now seems like an impossibility and we find ourselves slogging through ignorant, racist garbage. Leave it to the right to kill hope. It's what they do best.
