Anthony at Ohio Daily Blog broke the Ohio story, which began when someone sent him an email they had received from North Canton Police Dispatcher Anita Malachowski. Ohio blogs began to cover it in force:

Many in the Ohio and national mainstream media were also notified via email by bloggers.

Then the story widened. It was discovered that Uniontown Police Dispatcher Holli Webb was the one who sent the email to Anita.

I've recently begun to think that the healthcare town hall mobs are not really about healthcare at all. Most are there to discuss the issues, but there is a strong undercurrent of racial hatred running through the groups as well. It's very disheartening to have to fight the same smear battles we had to fight in the election, but we must. The way we beat it back then was to out those forwarding these hateful racist smears on. Once more unto the breach.

You can let the North Canton Police Department (Anita Malachowski's employer) know what you think of this by sending them a note. If you’d rather call you can do that at (330) 499-5911. I you love to fax (and who doesn’t!), you can fax away to (330) 966-3731.
