I'm done breaking bread with these people. It may be an oxymoron, but I will no longer tolerate the intolerant. I do not sit down to tea and break bread with people who perpetuate violence against me, or my loved ones. Nor will I watch media that treats these barbarians as though they merely disagree over the type of tea that they will drink. No matter how much I enjoy MSNBC, I will change the channel when the hate group talking heads appear to spew their verbal toxins. If you agree, let MSNBC know. Perhaps we can get the point across if Current TV's ratings go up at the expense of MSNBC.

Subject: I change channels when you air hate groups
I love MSNBC. I watch Hardball, The Ed Show, and Rachael Maddow. However, I'm dismayed at your increasing use of representatives from documented HATE groups. Tonight, it was yet again Tony Perkins from the Family Research Council. Why not invite David Duke or a Klan representative every time you discuss race relations?
I've come to the conclusion that all I can do is flip the channel to Current TV where they understand who watches them and don't suffer a delusional need to balance a sane view point with an insane one.
I have watched you for years but this is a trend I can no longer tolerate. By giving them a voice, you give them credence. If I watch your network, I support what you are doing. So every time I see a representative from these hate groups, I will flip the channel. And when I flip the channel, I do it for the rest of the evening and go elsewhere. Who knows, maybe I'll start to like Current TV more than MSNBC.
I am your base. You are losing me. Please stop supporting hate groups.
