Profiles in Courage and Decency

While hate speech continues to occur at Palin and McCain events, and their campaign pushes deception, frenzy and fear, some young Americans in the heartland are refusing to be part of it.

A sourced report at TPM reveals that 30 to 40 workers at a telemarketing call center in Indiana refused to read a script that accused Barack Obama of voting to endanger children.

These dozens of workers lost their pay for the day at the very least. This follows two reports last week of single individuals who refused to make similar calls and were sent home. Their example has been echoed by this larger group in Indiana. I salute them for their decency and courage.
