On Saturday, January 8th, 2010, like many other Americans I was shocked, and that shock quickly turned to anger. I assumed that Jared Loughner was influenced by racist rhetoric coming from the Tea Party, and I proceeded to launch personal attacks on my Facebook and Twitter against Sarah Palin. Sarah, I am sorry.
Now I'm asking, Sarah, Rush, Sean, Glenn, Newt, and all those influential persons who have spread hate on the right and left to apologize. For the good of our country; for your (fellow) Senators and Reps; for the 9 year olds that some day want to go into politics; please just apologize for spewing hate. Three words can make all the difference in the world to your followers and change the tone of political discourse in our great nation.
