I'm 38. And I am old enough to know that your suggestion that white Democrats in Alabama are now subject to the same treatment blacks received here and elsewhere in the Deep South in the not so distant past is not only ridiculous, it is an insult to every African American - regardless of political persuasion - who endured the cruelty of the Jim Crow era right on up through the civil rights movement.

Shame on you and your histrionics, Frances. I don't care how old you are. Even if Siegelman has been done wrong, your comparison between present-day white Democrats in Alabama and a black man wrongfully accused of rape and lynched without a trial is reprehensible.

I was interested in serious and respectful answers to an honest question here.
