"NASTY BAD PAGANS?" Protesting hate speech on NBC

On Wednesday, June 25, 2008, during a live broadcast of a wedding reception on the TODAY Show, Kathy Lee Gifford gratuitously referred to Pagans as "nasty, bad Pagans." Ms. Gifford's hate speech has done harm to American Pagans' ability to live in peace with our neighbors of other faiths. By allowing her hate speech to be broadcast, her direct employer the TODAY Show, and their network, NBC, participate in that hate speech.



This is a petition calling for, at the very least, an on-air apology. A TODAY Show program devoted to dispelling misconceptions about Pagans and Paganism would go a long ways toward undoing the damage..

Don't rock the boat

After an orange cloud — formed as a result of a dust storm over the Sahara and caught up by air currents — reached the Philippines and settled there with rain, I understood that we are all sailing in the same boat.

Opportunity knocks.

Let's assume that each person has an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different.

I believe it was Mahatma Gandhi who said “Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress”.

Personally, I think some people try too hard, don’t you?
