"Billy McKinney was not charged in either case."

Thank-you for the background info on Mr. McKinney. Some of it I had heard, some of it was new.

Why this man is above the law, I'll never know. He sure gave me the impression today as he was calling us "Nazis" that as long as he shouts the loudest, he is top dog. He has no idea how much that hurt. My father served in the Navy during WWII. My grandparents immigrated from Italy in the 20's to escape fascism, learned the language and the laws of the US and were productive citizens, even starting a successful business. Mr. McKinney encouraged Ms. McKinney's entourage to accuse us "rich white folk" of having ancestors that supported slavery.

What a cheap shot. My ancestors barely lived above poverty level in the "old country" and worked themselves literally to death in this country in order to be successful Americans. Unfortunately, I was unable to retort above the shouts.

Anyway, rant/off. Thanks once again for the enlightening McKinney history.

God Bless you.

Conservatives have to learn to scream louder. Use a drill-seargent voice. "The TRUTH?! You can't HANDLE the TRUTH!"

Write a letter to the editor about Billy McKinney's cheap shot. Just because the local TV or radio media didn't catch it, it doesn't mean you can't write it up and submit it. Who knows? It might even develop into a story (wink, wink). Besides sending your letter to the actual editorial board, be sure to send it to a few reporters as well, including the local Fox News station.
