Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostIf the family followed and harassed a family when Sarah wasn't even there, it is reprehensible. Apparently, that is what happened, though I still cannot find confirmation from any other sources; just the Michael Huckabee interview.
But why is no one talking about all of the restaurants across the country with the Red Hen name getting buried in harassing and threatening phone calls and social media posts?
The fact is, there are butt-heads on both sides of the political divide. They do not speak for all of us. It is as wrong for conservatives to point to a few liberal extremists and label the entire left with their actions as it is for the left to point to a few conservative extremists and label the entire right with their actions.

Although I don't see a reason for him to lie about it, I respect your wish to check it out more.
