^ Typical, narrow-minded view of an ignorant person...
It's just like some of the posts in the thread about using the word "Jap": Some people use the word 'cause they don't think it's racist, but never think about how others perceive the term... :shakehead:

If you guys are buying, even for a second, that she didn't know the racist connotations of those images, because she just doesn't think like that..., then boy do I have some bridges you might be interested in buying.

Exactly. I heard this woman speak on local news radio when the story broke. Her attempt to feign ignorance was pathetic and weak.

I'm hoping I get to see the following for myself: the Obama Bat Signal :hehe:
"Senator John McCain of Arizona has retreated farther and farther to the fringe of American politics, running a campaign on partisan division, class warfare and even hints of racism. His policies and worldview are mired in the past. His choice of a running mate so evidently unfit for the office was a final act of opportunism and bad judgment that eclipsed the accomplishments of 26 years in Congress."

McCain's Private Visit With Chilean Dictator Pinochet Revealed For First Time
John McCain, who has harshly criticized the idea of sitting down with dictators without pre-conditions, appears to have done just that. In 1985, McCain traveled to Chile for a friendly meeting with Chile's military ruler, General Augusto Pinochet, one of the world's most notorious violators of human rights credited with killing more than 3,000 civilians and jailing tens of thousands of others.
Sarah Palin Refuses To Answer Whether Or Not Abortion Clinic Bombers Are Terrorists
Some highlights of Brian William's interview with Sarah Palin and John McCain.
This exchange was shocking:
Brian Williams: Back to the notion of terrorists and terrorism, this word has come up in relation to Mr. Ayers -- hanging out with terrorist - domestic terrorists. It is said that it gives it a vaguely post uh 9-11 hint, using that word, that we don't normally associate with domestic crimes. Are we changing the definition? Are the people who set fire to American cities during the '60's terrorists, under this definition? Is an abortion clinic bomber a terrorist under the definition?
Sarah Palin: There is no question that Bill Ayers via his own admittance was um one who sought to destroy our US Capitol and our Pentagon -- that is a domestic terrorist. There's no question there. Now others who would want to engage in harming innocent Americans or um facilities, that uh, it would be unacceptable -- I don't know if you could use the word terrorist, but its unacceptable and it would not be condoned of course on our watch.
