Hate Crime? You Betcha!
With John McCain and Sarah Palin tolerating supporters shoouting “kill ‘em” or accusing people paling around with Terrorists or that rest of the words that are used to whip a crowd into a frenzy.
Last week we told you about several Barack Obama signs being stolen from people’s front lawns but what happened to a family in Irondequoit late last night is a whole lot worse. They are the only black family on the street and their Obama sign was burned.
Hate Crime? I’m thinking yes. why because here is how the owner felt.
“I’m not sure what the definition of a hate crime is but it certainly felt like one.”

“They would terrorize good God-fearing Americans, usually black, by burning items - usually a cross on their lawns. I just see this as an act of domestic terrorism or something very similar to what the KKK used to do.”
The street is not a very busy street and the house is tucked away here in the neighborhood. So whoever did this had to know that this Obama sign was at this particular house.”
How far is too far? Come on people
