I don't know why I don't spend more time there, to be honest. I guess I am just so used to DU.

in my metro area alone.

I know he's trying to be clever but carrying this analogy all the way through an article is really insensitive.

It's like saying a white candidate is "lynching" a black candidate and carrying that metaphor all the way through an article to make a point. We wouldn't accept playing on history of lynching as a way to be sarcastic, and we shouldn't accept this. It trivializes the three women who are killed by domestic violence every day in this country.

I went to jackpineradicals after I saw your link, looking for another site in case HRC wins the nomination but I don't think I'll be going back.

Sorry to spoil the fun.
