I cannot believe you all are getting so upset by this when there are far larger things to be upset by. Truth be known it came out of DeLay's mouth and you all want to attack it no matter how patently innocuous it was and no matter how universal his technique is  |
Are you arguing just to argue? You know he's a tool but you'll defend him anyway even though his statement was insensitive. Why is it wrong to have a strong opinion on what he said? Why do I have to share your opinion? I don't and I won't. I can't even say he's insensitive without getting a lecture on having an opinion that is different from yours.
