Acts of Kindness or Acts of Hate?

Many people say they are upset by Mr. Beck’s inappropriate post temporarily associated with the 26 Acts of Kindness initiative. Does anyone else find it peculiar that if one is really so upset with his post that given the choice of responding with a gesture of kindness or one of hate, that these people are choosing hate? Which would you choose, which have you chosen? Mr. Beck’s post was quickly removed and hardly anyone would have known about it except that someone chose to use this incident to further their own political advantage, with complete disregard for the fact that many more people would be hurt by their actions than otherwise. All of you that are casting stones should take a look in the mirror. Are you really upset and interested in furthering the kindness movement or are you acting with the motives of revenge, hatred or pure political gain? If you want to further kindness, then actually acting upon your believes would be more appropriate.  I hope that anyone truly interested in acts of kindness will stop spreading hate and act in a manner that is consistent with the goals of the kindness movement.
