Most of what writers classify as hate mail I would call simply
strong disagreements. However, this item, which arrived in my inbox
tonight from a writer who was too cowardly to sign his (or her!)
name to it, surely counts: "You are the perfect moral argument for
abortion. If you were black, you'd be the perfect moral argument
for lynching, and if you were Jewish, you'd be the
perfect moral argument for Auschwitz."
The writer doesn't provide context but this is likely in
response to my
Guardian piece today judging Sarah
Palin the winner of Thursday's debate. The moderator already had to
remove several items from the message boards there. Don't know what
more to say except that this is ugly stuff, folks.
