The days of Reporters getting down to the nitty gritty of a story seem to be over. They've been so busy trying to push the girl out of the race that they've allowed a man to be on the brink of the Presidency without any vetting, whatsoever. Unbelievable!

Do we really want these anti-American, anti-Semitic, terrorist, black separatists, racist, criminal types that Obama associates with running through the halls of the White House along with the New Black Panther Party, Hamas, et al???

I don't know if you snipped off the nasty bits, but what you excerpted didn't read like "hate mail" at all, but someone calling your research irresponsible, and attempting to back it up with evidence. Now, we can have a discussion of that evidence--but surely it's not necessary to call this hate mail. (Especially given the true hate found on all sides here...) One brief point, Larry.
