"the bottom line is: you just don't say this kind of stuff in public. period" reminds me of when ari Fleischer said "you have to watch what you say"
people are allow to be as bigoted and racist as they want in this country. they are also allowed to display their intolerance.
im not saying what they did was a good thing nor do i agree with them. people can be as stupid, racist and intolerant in ths country what we should do is ignore them. they made an ass out of themselves, we took the bait and shined a searchlite on them and now are giving them much attention. there's nothing new here we know this kind of hatered is out there
