The undercurrent of bigotry is erupting with increasing frequency. From the "grass roots", hate filled ravings of the tea baggers to the backwater swamps of rural Georgia. I grew up surrounded by these people. All they needed was an excuse and now they've found it among the likes of Glen Beck and other purveyors of propaganda to stir up the mob. The FBI is investigating bringing a charge of hate crimes against this scumbag. I hope they do.

Morrow police arrested Troy Dale West of Poulan after reviewing a video surveillance tape and talking to customers. He was charged with battery, disorderly conduct and cruelty to children.

This means that there were people present who watched this happen. They're even more despicable than is Troy Dale West for not coming to her defense.

He's lucky that no currently serving soldier, like one of my sons, was present to defend Callaway, otherwise Troy Dale West would, hereinafter, be referred to as "Troy Dale West, the Quadriplegic."

I blame conservative republicans. Their open hatred of Obama has provided a breeding ground for racists. Not all Obama haters are racist, but all racists are Obama haters.

With the freedom to walk within their ranks they get the feeling that their bigotry and racism is accepted.
