And, despite what the author of this screed wants to think, lynching party has entered the lexicon of phrases to describe almost any attack against an individual or group that smacks of mob hysteria.
"I found I was the only Mac user in an office of hardcore Unix guys. When they found out, I thought I was gonna get lynched."
That, or variations of that line, pass through the lips unchecked and unnoticed by Americans everywhere, and there is never any racial connotation to it. It's just something that people say.
What makes this statement seem racist to a hysterical white Republican hating professional race pimp was solely the fact that it was said by a white Republican regarding the dumb statement of a Black woman.
He should have been more careful, no question about it, but I don't think for a moment he would have phrased it any different if he had been talking about a McCain goof, a Bush blunder, or anything similar.
I have a question about it. Why should he have been more careful? Because liberals are right? Because white people don't have the right to use all of the English language?

Bow down to the thought/speak police and you are part of the problem - and it will not stop here...
Good grief, White folk will soon not dare open their mouths...
