I am shocked and appalled, and angry. That man looked right at her, into her eyes, and in a room full of people. The fact that people left the room is nice and all but not one person stopped him? Nobody stood up to challenge him? Perhaps that is one reason, if not the main reason why these so-called reverends keep spouting their hate.

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that these public displays of racism and hate by radical reverends have dramatically increased since Obama showed up. Whatever the cause, this kind of activity must be stopped by any means necessary. Let us not forget what happened the last time rampant antisemitism gained a foothold, and a following.

Watching the video was painful and I cannot even imagine how it would feel to be treated in such a manner. How does a society stop this kind of ignorant hate-mongering? People who would normally stand up and confront these reverends are not likely to be anywhere near him. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together wouldn’t be found anywhere near that man. Public figures like Obama should take responsibility for eliminating this stuff in their communities but they frequently subscribe to the ideology and its various forms. It’s always somebody else’s fault; the Jews, white people, the man, the government, and on and on.

The only positive to be seen so far is the fact that certain people are showing their true colors for all to see. We can no longer ignore the problem now that it’s so visible and apparently widespread. The future must hold no place for radicals – be they reverends, imams, environmentalists, or any other variety.
