While most of America was still mourning Sunday and Monday, there was an entire group of people that were spewing out hate for all to hear. First Sunday, there was the article by Tea Party Nation head Judson Phillips and Tea Party Nation member Timothy Birdnow that stated that teachers were leaders in the problems of the country, calling them evil. They stated children need to be home schooled since teachers weren't to be trusted. Obviously, they don't care about hard-working teachers, and disregarded heroic actions taken by teachers during that Connecticut massacre. Then they attacked President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, calling them out for actions taken during Fat and Furious, and refusing to call them by their title. They did this to show their complete disdain for the two men. Of course, it didn't matter to them that their facts in Fast and Furious is totally wrong.
Then, when President Obama went on TV Sunday night on all channels, cutting into the Sunday Night Football Game on NBC, twitter was ablaze with people who called the President every name in the book. It was reported that thousands of people used the "N" word to voice their disapproval, while some, if not most, said that either he had no right to break into the broadcast, had stolen the election, or was from Kenya.
Then on Monday, while the NRA was still mum, the farther right-leaning Gun Owners of America got on TV and stated their views on guns. Larry Pratt, who I believe heads the group, stated that there should be no gun control laws so that people could use their guns to overthrow their government. While Mr. Pratt stated that no one action could spur people to overthrow their government, but that if people feel that the government is acting against them, then they had the right to overthrow the government. I guess simple democracy doesn't matter to that group.
America, for the most part, is a country full of caring, loving, forgiving, and compromising people. But within its borders, there is a large group of people that believe in none of that. They have their own radio shows they listen to, their their own TV shows to watch, and even their own news channel. They have become, simply, a nation of hatred.
