Thanks for this editorial. Well said. Hate groups are bad, and opposing them isn't bad. And the leaders of the U.S.A. have a moral obligation to represent all the people and call the white supremacists, neo-nazis, and KKK for what they are – hate groups. Until recently, these hate groups were small minorities relegated to the fringes, and nobody paid attention. They were, as Old Soul suggests, like cockroaches scurrying to hide from the light. That people now defend them is a sign of selfishness and bigotry eroding the values that made this country what it is. Good citizens oppose racial hatred and protest hate groups. We should be able to expect that of our leaders too.
