Your Opinion: Bullying by campaigns

Dear Editor:

Regarding the tragic death of Tom Schweich, I want to express my disgust with those "leaders" and so-called "writers" who fail miserably in respecting and observing the Golden Rule: "Treat others as you would like to be treated." What motivates people to make judgmental remarks about a person's religious affiliation if it is a religion of peace?

Comparing Tom to the deputy sheriff of Mayberry, Barney Fife, saying how Schweich can be manipulated and is a weak candidate for governor, and "We will quickly squash him like the bug he is"- how mean and heartless is that?

There are kids who bully and cyber-bully - causing anguish, depression and suicide - but adults are also guilty. You would think that by the time one reaches adulthood, they would have grown beyond this negative, hateful attitude toward their fellow man. No wonder there are kids who bully! What kind of example are they given? Are they coming to the conclusion that this type of behavior is acceptable? Those people who hurt others will be held accountable - if not in this life, then in the next!
