Just a few minutes ago. Unbelievable. I made a couple of posts here and then the phone rang. She said, "Did you hear about that racist governor who is a Democrat?"

Obviously her friends must be telling her about it because she doesn't have cable and doesn't follow politics. Maybe it was on the local FOX affiliate, which is all she watches. Regardless, she sounded absolutely delighted.

Just one example like this and they use it as ammo to pretend there is no difference between the two parties on topics like this.
