In 1913 Leo Frank was lynched in Atlanta Georgia. To my knowledge he is the only Jew to be lynched in America. In 1955 the Jewish temple was bombed in Atlanta Georgia. I would like to thank Sarah Palin for removing the Anti-Jewish stigma from my home state of Georgia. Her comments today were insensitive and self-serving. Instead of talking about the merits of her argument, Palin resorted to an appeal to raw emotion and fear. Maybe that's because her aguments have no merit. She redirected us from considering her old mistakes by creating new mistakes for us to ponder. Isn't it funny that she believes that her words do not impact mentally instable people, they impact the sane. Maybe, Governor, it is in fact the opposite. You need a new speech writer and a new attitude. You hate socialism. Do you realize that the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was written by an avowed socialist? Tonight's ceremony was begun by the playing of "Fanfare for the Common Man" be Aaron Copeland- a gay composer. Sarah do you hate gays? On a Sabath morning when she could have been at Temple, Congresswoman Giffords was doing the people's business. A Catholic Judge coming from mass was shot dead. A Catholic child also lost her life. Sarah, we are not a nation of WASP's, but a nation of diversity. E Pluribus Unum the Latino said. The president and the nation applauded. Atlanta has become the city too busy to hate. Maybe Sarah you are just too busy. You had a chance to be noble today. You blew it. You are just another thing we have to overcome in our stride toward peace, justice, and human rights. May Gabby Gifford's principles prevail and not yours.
