3. It wasn't a "Friday night in a bar." It was an event sponsored by an AAR affiliate
so her name was linked to AAR.

Bubba can defend calling two high profile female DEMOCRATS the W word all he wants, but I doubt there's an organization anywhere in the world that would accept one of its employees standing up at a public event affiliated with said organization and hurling sexist slurs at two high profile representatives of its primary product. ESPECIALLY when over half its market base is in the same demographic group as that which the slur is traditionally used to dehumanize.

It hardly should have to be said that an AAR host calling a high profile black Democrat (or anyone) by the N word would result in swifter punishment, and no one on DU would have a problem with said punishment.

I love Randi and have defended her around here often enough. I still love her. But anyone who says that what she said was ok is a disgrace to whatever candidate they support.
