Hey, Hate Watch, wake up

There’s an article on Mark Potok’s Hate Watch today that reports on the hate that staffer Larry Keller discovered on Facebook towards President Obama;

“Dear Lord, this year you took my favorite actor, Patrick Swazie [sic],” the site’s creator wrote. “You took my favorite actress, Farah [sic] Fawcett. You took my favorite singer, Michael Jackson. I just wanted to let you know, my favorite president is Barack Obama. Amen.”

Of course, the approval of the sentiment by more than a million Facebook members is proof of some sort of recent surge in hate directed at the President. But what Larry is forgetting (And TSO reminded me) is that was the same statement a labor official in New Jersey made against their new governor a few weeks ago.

Dear Lord this year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman Billy Mays. I just wanted to let you know that Chris Christie is my favorite governor.

NJEA’s local Bergen County Education Association President Joe Coppola sent the message to 17,000 union members. So where is Hate Watch’s report on that “joke”?
