But I think if the woman said she won't vote for McCain because he is white, that would be racist. This woman is exhibiting terrible judgement because she is voting for someone because of his race whereas I see a difference and don't call it racist. Now again, if she said she is voting against McCain because he is white and she won't vote for white people, that is racist.
If I said I am voting for the Democratic candidate because he is a democrat, no matter what the issues are, that isn't considered bigotted, is it?
It is ignorant, yes. But I believe that if at a Democratic rally, the crowd was screaming treason and kill him as I have seen and heard on the national news stations, I would think that the candidates should/would stop the chatter. Palin did not. She continued on and to say nothing is to agree.
I stand by my original statement.....those people in PA are ignorant.
