61. I know that serial killers exist too

but to pretend that the whole Republican party is composed of them is not only politically unwise, it is not accurate.

She was not taking a shot at a specific group of people, but basically suggesting that all 60 million McCain voters are racist, ignorant fearful and weak minded.

Well, in 2010, ten thousand of those McCain voters also voted for the Democrat in my Congressional district. It wasn't enough for us to win. The point is, we need more, and insulting them does not help, nor is it true. They are no more brainwashed by Fox news than I am by Michael Moore or MSNBC.
