Read the deposition. We're not talking about a Southern woman who said the n-word once, 40 years ago. We're talking about recent allegations of a repeated pattern of racial bigotry by her and her brother, some of which she has actually admitted to, if you read the deposition.

So you can condescend to us who have judged and condemned her, I don't give a damn.

PS - using the words "politically correct" is a dead giveaway, you may want to watch that if you're going to continue visiting your 'refuge'.

ETA this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023073598 Did you see this one? Still think we're being so mean for beating up on poor little ol' Paula? Maybe you could ask Hollis Johnson how he feels about her.
