Some things need to be said..


by Aaron Murin-Heath    

A comment from an article about a Republican attempt to smear Obama. Two GOPers have asked an Oxford academic to ‘prove’ that Obama’s autobiography was written by domestic terrorist William Ayers.

Some of us in the United States would truly like to apologize for the actions of our politicians and to remind the world that many of us are actually sane, educated and moral people. Please remember that many of us are not simply Ugly Americans, just temporarily trapped here. ~ David McLarty, Rockwood, Tennessee, USA

Things are really getting this nasty.

Mr. McLarty, we stand with you.
