2. I started to post a reply to say that it sounded only like a guy or two booing...
So why blame the whole bunch of them?

But then I started anticipating possible replies to my reply.

"Why didn't the rest of the crowd counter-boo such an offensive display?"

"Why didn't even one of the candidates denounce the offensive display?"

And I realized I was wrong.

I originally went out of my liberal way to try to explain away any blame as to the larger crowd last night.

I was wrong.

Very wrong.

That is what the Republican party is now.

They hate gay people. They hate sick people.

They jeer life.

They cheer death, in any form.

Except for abortion.

They need someone to project their anger and frustrations up against.

Times are tough. And there are a lot of hateful people out there.

And the media make them more hateful every single day. That's what they call a job.
