It is still an expression of unadulterated racism.
I take the comment to focus more on differences in life experiences. I hope that the reaction to this nominee is not going to be so far over reaching that it ends up damaging conservatives. Real differences are valid points but trying to smear her or take comments out of context will make her a hero to the wrong people for the wrong reasons and make conservatives look like knee jerk bigo...., oh you know where this is going. I’m in know way a fan but since her confirmation is nearly a sure thing, why hurt ourselves.
You really want to hurt this candidate, have a few right wingers (Rush would have been good) come out in favor. Cite a few rulings that could be argued as conservatives and the lefties heads would explode.
