What a horrible person, the world would be so much better off if people like her never existed. Republicans, evil ... every single last one of them.

Did you not see how her and her like have lead to the evil, lead to the destruction of the world, busted the unions, killed millions, supported Iran Contra.

Stereotypes are all fun and good, until you or yours are on the wrong side of one. Litmus tests, do you not perform them on the people that you know? Or do they just get a pass on the last year of thier life?
