Flathead Beacon reporter Tristan Scott wrote a fine report on the comments against hate that were delivered to the Whitefish City Council on Monday. Although the Daily InterLake and Whitefish Pilot also published excellent accounts of the meeting, Scott was the only reporter who linked Monday’s crowd to the crowd that in the spring of 2010 massed at the Flathead County Library in Kalispell to protest a very small group that was legally showing Holocaust denial films in the basement of the library.
Scott’s report is now hard to find on the Beacon’s website, but that hasn’t stopped 345 people, some of whom one wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley, from commenting. Some, I suspect, are from people who live thousands of miles from Whitefish. Here’s a comment, constitutionally protected, but utterly depraved, and typical of comments often made by bigots and bullies hiding behind pseudonyms.
