No Truth Just Consequences

Dear right wing conservative talk show hosts,
I am writing you today in hopes to appeal to your Christian sensibilities that you claim to cherish. Please sirs and madams, stop telling your listeners that Barack Obama and his policies are dangerous to this country. You can not say with any degree of certainty (although you have) that President elect Obama will do this country harm anymore than I can say with certainty (although I have) that you lie when you say that Sarah Palin is intelligent and would have made a great vice president. You folks are paid propagandists hired by those who want to protect their wealth. Your job is to spread fear and disinformation to the uneducated masses in order to keep this country divided. When you use phrases like " What scares me about Obama . . ." and "What I fear Obama will do. . ." and in Hannity's case, "America will cease to exist." . . . you give the impetus to hate groups and narrow minded individuals to act aggressively. Just look at the Palin rallies. While your rhetoric and propaganda is wrapped in the American flag (made in China) and "America First" bumper sticker mentality, your words of unwarranted distrust are incendiary and must be tempered with reason. When you stir up fear in people they make bad decisions. Please please please sirs and madams, if there be a shred of decency within you understand the volatile state of mind in the McCain/Palin base. They are angry at this election's outcome and when you add to that the incredible anxiety our nations feels as we head into tough economic times, you have the recipe for tragedy. Should one of these people, or one of your listeners , God forbid, attempt to harm our new president, will you not feel partly responsible?

If you truly are a "great American" you understand how far we've come and how fragile the advancement. Your professed fear of the Obama administration pales in comparison to my fear of what would happen to this country if he is taken from us by an assassin's bullet. You're playing with fire in a tinder box soaked in kerosene.

Liberal doesn't equal radical. Democrat doesn't equal Atheist. Obama doesn't equal terrorist!
I am not asking you to quit your job or flip your party allegiance, I ask only that when you criticize president elect Obama please use the same amount of respectful language that you chose during the scant few times you disagreed with president Bush.
Sincerely,
DaG
