WHO IS CALLING WHO NAMES?

ALI:
So sorry to have missed all this! May I ask that everyone posting here speak for themselves... not for me thank you. and Mr. Shikes, may I just say that when you call people names you just appear to be irrelevant.

ME
Ali, you not only missed all this. . . you missed the point. The protesters in Washington were well represented by the people we saw on that video. They are ignorant, uneducated, bigoted, racist morons who hate America. That's not name calling; that's an accurate description. Ahhh, If only name calling was irrelevant. Unfortunately however, calling has been raised to fine art by right wing instigators like Limbaugh, Beck, O'reilly, Hannity, and Savage.
I'm glad to see that I'm not nearly so irrelevant that you felt the need to acknowledge me - even if it was only to dismiss me. Don't just read these comments. Do your research. Go to the source - and then use the common sense that god gave you before you go to the defense of people who are ignorant, uneducated, bigoted, racist morons who hate America.

And then we hear, once again, from Brooke.  Remember Brooke?  Brooke chimed in with an all encompassing one word response.

BROOKE
 . . . fool.


Jane, who apparently had posted a comment at about the same time I had, and asked back if  Brooke's insult was directed at her or all of us commenting in this thread.

JANE:
You, me, or all of us combined? lol While I am glad people are so passionate with their beliefs, I would prefer we all play nice in the sandbox together....after all, we all do live in the same sandbox and we all want the same goals, we just have different strategies to achieve them.

It turns out however that the insult was narrowly focused - on me. 

BROOKE:
sorry that was a rash comment. it was directed at stephen.(emphasis added) i retract it. on the most respectful of terms i would like to point out that there was no playing nice in the sandbox until the strong republican joined in on the topic. the very act of posting the link was not playing nice in the sandbox, and virtually all the moments past it were increasingly bad. finally you bring up the bigger picture of us all living in the same world and having to share it together. if you truly believe in those words you typed i encourage you to not spread media that will only divide us, instead spread media that furthers your own viewpoint and educate others who may not see the same as you. dont continue to tear down your neighbors. the world will be a better place if we finally see that throwing sand at your brother will only leave you with less sand in the end.

ME:
Brooke. You are babblling.

JANE:
When I see a video such as this, I can either ignore it or speak out and say, "This type of bigotry and racism is not okay, and I will continue to speak against it until someday maybe it goes away altogether."
