Idaho is too great for any hatred

Unless you hate our president George W. Bush, two recent articles in the Daily Bee inform supporters of the Democratic party and "those that just hate Bush." Carole King's performance at Arlo's and the Democratic caucus were billed using similar wording. Isn't the left supposed to be against hate? All hate? I guess their desire for power "justifies" certain kinds of hate.

Can you imagine a Republican event billed as "the Republican party invites Republicans and people that hate Kerry" or imagine "Republicans or those who hate Sharpton are urged to attend."

It is great to live in a country where free speech is the rule. I find it humorous that after King's performance and the Democratic caucuses are over, Idaho will vote Republican, not because we hate Kerry but because Bush is a better man.
