The appalling comments I have seen from the ignorant defending that racist prick are incredible. Deen is the image of what is wrong with this country: a woman who seems "sweet" on the surface is actually a raging racist asshole. And the stupid bigots who defend her think they are right.

This country is doomed. And rightfully so.
