Time to Call Batman?
Back to topic. All these arguments about the First Amendment right to protest are certainly valid. However, there seems to be a very fine line when you involve a child in what I would consider a hate campaign. But then some believe what is on the signs held up by the small boy to be true. Everyone must reconcile the image in their own mirror. If one finds perfection in their reflection , how wonderful for you. This image is disturbing because it connotes a learned hatred. The poor child will probably never stray from his preordained path. History tends to repeat itself.— July 20, 2010 10:51 a.m.

“The first step toward finding God, Who is Truth, is to discover the truth about myself: and if I have been in error, this first step to truth is the discovery of my error.” Thomas Merton If you have made a mistake, apologize and move on. That is, if you have the courage to do so.— July 20, 2010 10:18 a.m.

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.” Thomas Merton Live and let live is the lesson.— July 20, 2010 10:15 a.m.

Different people are inspired by different cues. If one needs graphic imagery as a prompt, then they are more literal types of learners. Using a child to promote hate is never right. Some find the child's image attached to this story offensive. Some do not. It is that simple.— July 20, 2010 10:08 a.m.

Promoting hate through imagery is one aspect that must be considered. Life is not some cheap reality show where every disgusting aspect of history needs to be memorialized in photos to prove evil exists. I am sure that the injured military who live with the effects of history do not need images to remind them of their sacrifices. Or the mothers who had stillborns do not need displayed photos of their loss. Or those who suffer from cancer do not need X-Rays to contemplate the size and location of their malignant tumors. The reality of their burdens is enough. Images can inspire in so many other ways. That poor child in the photo inspires me to say, " Enough."— July 20, 2010 9:34 a.m.
