Post Your Hate Elsewhere

An Era Opinion
By The Era

I woke up today and started my morning routine.
Turned on the heater and computer, and then into
the kichen for my morning coffee. I plopped myself
down in front of the computer and started reading
the news.

One blog I visit everyday is Crooks and Liars. One of the top stories of the day was indeed quite astonishing. A Fox News affiliate in South Carolina produced a report that was somewhat favorable of an internet forum site Stormfront that preaches white supremacy. I was shocked to see a "reputable" news channel report a story in this manner. I guess it's not that shocking because it did come from a news source I find less than reputable. But, the fact is, many Americans get their news from Fox and this just shouldn't be happening.

But this is not my point.

I have my own news site where I post articles I find interesting.
One story I posted a few days ago came from another great website
The Raw Story. A story I posted was about the UN General Assembly adopting an anti-Nazi resolution, initiated by Russia. Some 114 countries supported the document, with 4 states against and 57 abstentions. The resolution expressed a serious concern about the growing activity of extremist,racist and xenophobic organizations in the world. The U.S. was of the only four countries that voted against this. I was surprised that the U.S. had voted against this.

While reviewing my site and looking into the archived stories I came
upon this exact story which now had a comment. I don't get nor do I expect, many comments so, when there is one, I look at it.

I opened up the comment page and read what the poster had left behind
for me. But, comment it wasn't. The person posted anonymously and left nothing but a series of links that looked like news headlines. I curiously clicked on one and guess where it took me....

That's right, Stormfront. I was disgusted.

So, for whoever left the comment on my page. Post your hate elsewhere.
I don't agree with the site you support. I think you need help.
