94. uh - weren't you the one who wanted the confederate flag carriers to
vote for us? Are you saying that Republicans are WORSE than Confederate flag carriers? You've got a strange set of values... I'd prefer Republicans to out-and-out racists. Or, if you prefer: "out-and-out insensitive louts who don't care about other's feelings by carrying around a flag that they know damn well insults about 40% of the population."

Sorry - I like Dean (my favorite ticker is Clark/Dean) - but that's where he and I part company... THAT's where I draw the line.

As someone who taught Diversity classes I feel very strongly that if a group of people are hurt by something - you do not insult them by flaunting that something. Whether or not it is a group of Jewish people, blacks, hispanics, women, white men - you just don't decide to celebrate the Nazi flag, the Confederate flag, put Arnold Schwarzenneger posters up in the workplace. If you want to be a jerk go ahead and put it on your car - but realize that by doing so - you are making a statement about yourself: "I'm an insensitive clod who does not care about other's feelings."
