Cross burned on lawn of Obama supporters

The Far Right can't stand not getting their way 100% of the time, and in the past couple days, it's been more obvious than ever.

In Hardwick, New Jersey, a family who supported Obama's presidential bid have woken up to find a cross burned on their lawn. The charred remains of the cross were wrapped in an Obama-related banner that had been stolen from the lawn the previous night.

This was in a community that the Republican ticket won by a substantial margin. Incidents like this do seem to occur disproportionately in areas that favor right-wing politics.

The family targeted by this display won't be intimidated though: They're putting up an even larger banner to support the new President-elect.

GOP weaklings burn a cross and destroy a banner, but they didn't destroy a family's spirit.

I think it's time someone makes an effort to start connecting the dots between attacks like this and some of the nasty comments wingnuts post online.
