at all the racist comments against Obama. Just like many liberal fat people will wince inwardly or outwardly at the fat jokes against Christie.

When you shame Christie for his weight, you are shaming all fat people, even those who are on your side. You don't get to distinguish between 'good' fat people and 'bad' fat people.
