James – your hate for white people is shameful. Own up to it and make amends.

Weren’t violoent acts like the Birmingham Church bombing, the murder of Medgar Evers, and other incidents of white-racist terrorism (e.g. lynchings) used as powerful political symbols in the Civil Rights struggle?

Were people “losers” back then for “[m]aking political points out of tragedy”? Where stood your “honest disagreement” back then?

What you deride as a “political hatchet game” is in my book just holding up a mirror to show the American Right how ugly and hateful they have become (or never stopped being).

He clearly stated that it was the people on the left that encouraged this maniac, and proceeded to list all the ways that the lefties were responsible.

The Holocaust Memorial Museum, compels us to remember the power hatred, 6.000.000 Jews Gypsies,Pole’s and Gay people were slaughtered.

One fact most people are never made aware of is, after liberating the Jews from the concentration camps, we, rearrested the Gay people and put them back in the camps.

I’m in total agreement with your position on this, the museum is a place hopefully, for our enlightenment, not for political gain.

Perhaps Eddie in LA can learn from your example in that way.

When Eric Holder gave his speech on race a few months ago, everyone I knew was offended. I wasn’t because I understood what he was saying: we segregate ourselves as much as we are ostracized from other groups, and we also refuse to acknowledge all the bad and uncomfortable feelings that come along with being who we are. By refusing to open up a dialogue with our peers or opponents, we are essentially feeding the negative feelings and ideas of everyone involved. When we don’t simply talk about things, we are more inclined to use guns and other weapons to do our talking for us. Or be spoken to by a gun or weapon.

This paragraph should be immortalized in some way: “This political hatchet game is useless but we play because it’s hard to believe that people on the other side of the debate are actually fair minded, and come to their political conclusions with the same passion and thought. Much better to act like your political opponent is beyond the pale and stew in some self righteous juice, preaching to a choir that simmers in the same broth.”

I think your point was made by the last comment here by Bruce. (By the way, Bruce, you need to open your mind a LOT!) It’s so easy for us all to posture about what we’d do if we were elected officials simply because we are not. It is easy for us to posture about how we would change the world if we were in positions of authority simply because we are not. No, this doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t stand up and argue our points. All it means is that we should argue our points honestly, with integrity, and with respect to the views of the opposition.

Hate begets hate, violence begets violence, terrorism begets terrorism.

This is a murder …. the motive is of no consequence…and murder is wrong.

To dwell on the location is pointless!!!

When someone judges me by the color of my skin, I call him out for being the racist that he is.

If you’re going to throw an accusation like that out there, back it up. Link the piece where he did that.

Otherwise sit down and shut up because the murder in that museum has NOTHING to do with the bullsh** you’re talking.

How did you get that James Withers, hates white people and especially white gays? Sounds like you’re trying to bash black men and black gays.

Please go to college before you start writing your opinions, because they seem very insignificant, and racist.
