The "Hate" goes on!!!

Erm..Somehow it seems that ever since the inauguration of President Obama, some so-called extremist are finding it hard to live with the idea of an African-American President. Since January this year, there have been reported series of hate comments, messages or actions against blacks and minorities occurring at a larger pace than before and it seems the hate just keeps getting worse.
In one story Congressman David Scott of Georgia was greeted with a Swastika on his office sign and received strong hate messages calling him a "Nigger" and President Obama a "Marxist". For those that don't know what a Swastika is, the swastika was used as an official emblem of the Nazi Party, and is sometimes used by modern Neo-Nazis.
In another related story, a city council member was reprimanded for forwarding very strong offensive series of emails that were racist in nature. One of them included an assassination attempt on President Obama and attacks on Illegal Immigrants. Check video here.
Can someone seriously tell these folks to start living with the times? Seriously, we've moved past the 50s and 60s even if we still live through the times (You know what I mean)
