a thought or two-actually a real raving in this case

my friend cv rick sent me a very disturbing email. he warned me and said he was torn about sending it (i'm NOT linking to it nor am i going to post it). i told rick he did the right thing by sending it and at the moment, i had nothing to say (because i felt like my soul was being stabbed a million times). the image involved barack obama and a noose and ugly words and thoughts. (cv rick has an amazing blog. in his rather young life, he's lived things the rest of us have only dreamed. plus he writes a DAMN FINE STORY - both fiction and non-fiction. he's not been updating his blog of late, but i hope that changes soon. please go visit him and read some of his older postings and the serializations of some of his (true) tales. it will be worth it and you'll thank me)

i also saw another incredibly disturbing image on roschelle's blog - sagacious rambling

that one wasn't as violent but it had potential (to be)

i know the people who are responsible for the ugly words and the ugly images are beyond clueless. they have NO idea what they're doing is just plain WRONG. it's WRONG. that seems too easy, but that's it. simply WRONG.

these are the SAME kinds of people who think it's funny to let's say, talk about rape and hurting women. the same kind of person who talks about hanging a man because of the color of his skin can and does write articles like the one i talked about here (i'm not talking about JUST men either. women can have evil ugly souls and speak evil ugly words and have evil ugly thoughts too)

THEY DON'T GET IT. rape is just about as funny as hanging a black man is. i don't care if you don't like barack obama or not. BUT DISLIKE HIM BECAUSE OF HIS POLITICS NOT THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN.

they are not only NOT ashamed of their actions and words and images THEY ARE PROUD OF THEM. they do NOT understand how hurtful they are. they don't CARE to understand.

why are they so consumed with fear?

(and, not only don't they think they are doing wrong, BUT THEY TURN AROUND AND CONTINUE TO ACCUSE OBAMA OF THINGS HE NEVER DID OR NEVER WAS OR NEVER WILL BE)

UPDATE: i just saw this from stephen at drinking liberally in new milford . he has actually posted the picture rick sent me. he also is far more articulate than i and wrote one hell of a posting on the subject.
