11. I think you're right and I'm starting to see what this is all about.
Edited on Wed Jan-18-06 12:41 AM by Blue_Roses
When I first heard the comments she made, I froze--not because she said something that was entirely true and not because she could be making herself a lightening rod for the GOP spin machine, but because of the sensitive nature of this topic for those of us who have lived in the heart of "plantation country" literally. Those wounds run deep and will always leave a permanent scar no matter how often it is approached. The history of slavery in the south still, STILL rings loud and clear, but it just sounded weird coming from the mouth of a "white woman" and that makes many uncomfortable who are used to women being submissive, which is the reason many GOPer's hate Hillary--she's not.

I've listened and read the dialog going about this today and I have to say, watching who is upset and who isn't is starting to chart out a pattern. It seems to be WHO said it rather than WHAT was said.

You're right and I think you're on to something.
:thumbsup:
