Fighting the Hate Groups with a Hero’s Name

[Stingo]

The powers of hate are rampant in this country, and there has been talk of neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups growing in this country since the election of Barack Obama, but this is a nice solution to a small problem in Missouri, as a Democrat stood up against hate by naming a highway for a Jewish hero. Good news, indeed.

1. Oh, that is good...

The nazis adopt a highway for publicity - so the state names the adopted highway the Rabbi Herschel Memorial Highway.

Love it.

2. Please note

It is a Democrat who proposed the name change.

3. It's an idea that's worked before.

When the Ku Klux Klan won a court battle to sponsor a section of highway, the Missouri legislature voted to rename said highway section the "Rosa Parks Highway." After that, the Klan didn't clean up their section in accordance with their contract, so they lost their sponsorship. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/rosapark.asp">Cite
