Stop printing hateful letters

In light of the Washington, D.C., Holocaust Museum murder recently, and the April report of Homeland Security that our biggest terrorist threat is not from outside the country but rather from fanatical hate groups inside the country, and given the continued ramping up of hatred through right-wing media outlets preaching against "illegals," "government control" and "baby killers" designed to divide our country into warring factions, it behooves your newspaper to stop printing hate letters in the Fence Post and to heed the words of Michael Gerson of The Washington Post: "anti-Semitism has always been a kind of test - a reliable measure of a nation's moral and social health.

When the rights of Jews are violated, all human rights are insecure. When Jews and Jewish institutions are targeted, all minorities have reason to fear."

It's time for us to stand together as the proud and powerful country we tell all the other countries that we are. The rest of the world is watching.
