Call me indifferent.
But after reading just a few of the racist-fueled comments aimed at 11-year-old Malia Obama's fashion choices on the "conservative" "news" site FreeRepublic.com, I was neither shocked nor surprised. A little confused maybe -- as in, what's so bad about a little girl wearing a peace sign? Do Republicans hate peace? Wasn't Jesus a pacifist? Isn't that the point of the whole "WWJD?" movement?
Forgive the repetition, but I hate to say that nut-bag blog comments constitute hate speech. The Freepers mindless mouth vomit felt less like shouting fire in a crowded theatre and more like splashing gasoline on an already burning tug boat. Speech that incites violence is one thing, speech that reinforces stereotypes about a certain group of people--in this case, barefoot, cousin-marrying, gun-toting, "conservatives" -- See, doesn't it just make you cringe? -- is another. One is illegal and the other, well, we'll call it Fox News.

Why do I get the feeling that liberals are filled with hate for Christianity, America, freedom, conservatism, FR, me?
Isn't hate a cardinal sin to the religion of liberalism?
Only those who rise above the crowd catch the rotten tomatoes....so feel honored, Jim.
Jesus would have thrown Obama out of the temple that he was tagging with his own graffiti
They do not hold themselves to the same standards they insist for everyone who doesn’t agree with them.
Jim,
Lock and load. Keep ‘em on the run and we’ll be here to guard your back and protect the flank. Just consider yourself as par with Sarah.
They are scared to death of the light of truth and their only means to abate that fear is the hate they rail against, which is ironicly only their twisted image in a mirror.
The Picture of Dorian Grey is now a changin’.
Mext thing you know he’ll be selling advertising on Mrs. Obie’s butt.
It's an old and tired trick... casting a new victim in an attempt to cover up what many were appalled at.
Using innocent children Trig and Malia is rotten.
Another liberal attempt to silence criticism of their beloved....how quaint.
A little confused? Maybe? Sounds either totally and certifiably addle-brained or completely disingenuous or both.
Curious to watch the left’s efforts to tag all those who disagree with them as “racists”. When our kid was six years old, he would be like that- do something, deny it, and blame everyone else for doing what he did. He’s outgrown that now that he is eight.
Now those are textbook examples of hate speech.
I didn’t see any of the comments she mentioned but I typically don’t spend much time on those kinds of threads.
Hatred is the first tool of choice for the intellectually challenged word smiths of today with public school educations.
Hatred is also the basest of emotions commonly found in small minded people (least common denominator) with limited emotional capacity.
But apparently she has an audience.
Just another befogged Liberal with her knickers in a twist. Nothing to see here; move along.
Bad typo moment - race is NOT an issue!
Ms.Andrews can't help but visit Free Republic because of it's top layman commentary and creative insights.
Unfortunately,the collateral exposure to hard facts that threaten her foolish yet fanatically held Leftist ideology makes her scream in terror disguised as righteous umbrage,”I hate when they say that!!!”
But she can't keep away.She is much like Rush Limbaugh's devoted liberal listeners.They MUST despise him but they just can't find the knob to turn him off.
“She” just “loves” those “quotes,” doesn’t “she.”
... what's so bad about a little girl wearing a peace sign?
