LONSBERRY: Charlottesville and hate | NewsRadio WHAM 1180: Proof of our division as a country isn’t found in Charlottesville, but in how we reacted to it.
How we turned a riot and a murder into a political club to beat each other in the head with.
There was no mourning, no shock, no shared sorrow, only the reflexive pouncing of people, parties and philosophies who genuinely hate one another.
There was an immediate and complete effort to hang the event around the neck of the opposition – whoever that is, and whoever we are. Some blamed Trump and talk-show hosts and Republicans in general. Others lashed out at Black Lives Matter and progressive intolerance.
It was tit for tat, and the fight was on.
