Pett spews hatred

Joel Pett’s cartoon references to Gov. Matt Bevin as an “ayatollah” cross the line.

By publishing cartoons like this, the Herald-Leader has lost its credibility to opine against hatred in American society.

You can’t spew the kind of hate that this cartoon contains and then rail against hate in American society.

That would be pure hypocrisy.
