Comments to Brit Hume

So there have been a lot of reactions to Brit Hume:

Progressive Buddhism lists e-mail addresses where you can complain.

Sweep The Dust, Push The Dirt has a poll. I voted for "Metta Meditation w/Reverend Danny till puppies explode from his heart"

My Buddha Is Pink contains a response and e-mail addresses again. A worthy post worth reading.

Shambhala SunSpace is where I first saw the story.

Bitterroot Badger's Bozeman Buddhist Blog includes his letter to Fox News.

Precious Metal comments briefly.

Huffington Post comments as well.
