The only point I made was that McCain and Palin are whipping up the same kind of trash you are, only on a national scale, and that kind of "he's dark, he's mysterious, he's secretive, he's untried, he's maybe a foreigner," etc., feeds racist minds -- the kind who applaud your every post.

I don't mind at all, believe me, that you think I'm hypersensitive to racism.  Coming from you, it's a compliment.
