it is odd that CNN won't say more, why not say who the people were?

and by the way who feeds animals that way anyway?

"She's a lovely, religious woman..." What does her religious bent have to do with anything??? I have to wonder if Wolf's stature has mostly to do with his "distinguished" look. It sure to hell can't be because of his breathless, gasping style of blather on the air!

You can easily imagine the hell she'd be subjected to from rabid freepers if they knew how to contact her. The ass holes that taunted her - THEIR NAMES should be publicly spread around. But I suspect the media will treat them the same - unless THEY wanna brag about their boorish racism and target themselves.

Hell, hearing she's a "good christian" would make them want to target her church too.

The Republican Party esp. Teabag have cultivated these racist actions. Removing these two fools is just like a sticking a band aid on a black plague blister.
