African-American actress Stacey Dash made an appearance on the
Piers Morgan show to talk about the Twitter backlash that ensued when she openly
endorsed white-American candidate, Mitt Romney, over African-American, Barack
Obama. Dash was called terrible names online, subjected to racial insults and
told to kill herself, which is wrong.

Dash stated Mitt Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, reached out
to her to thank her for her support. President Obama hasn't said squat to some
of his supporters engaging in cyber threats, intimidation, harassment and
bullying, allowing Dash to be savaged and threatened. Yesterday, President Obama
issued a dangerous quote stating for him to win the election his supporters must
get "obsessive." Encouraging fanaticism is dangerous. It propagates the kind of
hate Dash and others have been met with for daring to question the economic and
political choices of Obama.
Barack Obama
I've never understood how some can become fanatical about a
public figure to the point they threaten, abuse and sometimes physically attack
others. Keep things in perspective. You don't know these public figures
personally to get so upset and even if you did, engaging in harassment, threats,
bullying and assaults is unlawful. Who do you think you are to do that. There is
no excuse for this incivility. The Bible labels such idolatry an offense to God.
Mitt Romney
Recently, a story came out of Florida about a man that struck
his wife for supporting Romney, rather than Obama. He was arrested for this
misconduct and made excuses when approached by newsmen. No one should be placing
any politician or celebrity above their own family and friends. You know your
family and friends. Most of the public do not personally know politicians and
celebrities.

To get mad, curse at or hit family members and or friends over
someone you don't even know is wrong. Get a hold of yourself. Some of you would
be surprise to learn that some, not all, of your favorite public figures aren't
as nice or honest as they claim to be. Stop putting them ahead of your family
and friends. Let people vote for their favorite candidates in peace, without
being bullied or attacked.
