all of those I know that are involved [incl. some of the local leadership] has spoken against the racist signs, the Obama with the Hitler moustache etc.
I hoped that was the case, and suspected it might be - but of course that kind of reaction never gets picked up by the media, just as when moderate Muslims condemn Al Qaeda it doesn't get reported. It's not sensational, therefore it's not news
Of course, I also take offense at being called a Nazi...
And a racist...
And so you should! That type of behaviour is every bit as unacceptable as the Hitler/witchdoctor posters etc. I may disagree with you politically, but I respect your right to hold your beliefs and don't believe you hold them from any other reason than principle.
I just wish more people, on all sides, would have that same respect for other people's opinions
