57. It's a human reaction to condescending words

Thu Jul 19, 2012, 05:11 PM

Jul 2012

coming from someone who wants to be First Lady of our country. Elected or not, that position has some emotional meaning for Americans, and it just so happens that this particular type of condescension resonates very deeply with serious problems people have with the candidate himself. I think it's silly to expect people not to respond to something like this, particularly on a political DISCUSSION board.
