And while you're at it, shut up, you racist pig!

On Friday, we blogged about how born-to-lose presidential hopeful John McCain's irresponsible remarks about the community-organizing group ACORN's voter-registration efforts had attracted vandalism and insult at ACORN offices across the country.

This morning, we received an unsettling email pass-along that demonstrates just how far down the cultural sewer those GOP campaign barbs were listened to. Racist morons of America, hear this: free speech is a precious thing, but death threats, believe it or not, are illegal. You're entitled to your opinion, no matter how feeble, but just because you have the constitutionally protected right to hate doesn't empower you to act it out.

Please forward this blog to any racist morons of your acquaintance. Thanks, y'all.
