Disturbing comment via Tweets from Right wing/Baggers **Warning Very Offensive Language
The Political Right Wing has been irresponsibly stirring up hate by preying upon the naive and fearful. Here we document the results of this phenomenon - as literally seen daily on Twitter.

It's called Hate Speech and there is a lot of it from the "Tea Party" followers and other Right Wing extremists. Much of it is written thinking that only other haters will read it. This corrosive speech needs to be exposed before the actors can heed their better natures and stop. And for a civilized society to remain so.

I feel this has to be exposed. What the current GOP party has been stoking for a long time. This kind of hate you can not control. I don't know what the GOP were thinking to attach themselves to this.

You know I feel more fear of these people than I ever did living all these years under terrorist threat.

2. Vile is too soft a word for this
try repugnant. I can't think of a word to describe this. These people are truly insane, collectively insane. It feeds off one another.

3. And yet even when the polls show that 1/4 to 1/3 of populace...
...is in close or broad accord with the authors of this commentary, and that a like number will, all too likely, nod along for a while before waking up to themselves or what they are hearing, the remainder who do make conscious effort to police and/or "better" themselves point to their own laudable, but largely beneath ken examples as the "True face of America" and not the very visble, very audible examples that the world is subjected to from within America.


It is semi-anonymous vileness like this which is the clearest example of why absolute fredom of speech is no bloody virtue.

5. I live in the South & -- maybe I've been sheltered -- but I've never heard such
trashy, hateful comments like that. That was embarrassing to read, & I, too, am afraid of people with that much hatred stored up in them. They're not even human.

6. Did anyone really doubt these "people" were gone? I see evidence...
...of racism every day. We've got a long way to go folks.
