re: #259 palomino

Uhh, yes, it was racist (more precisely xenophobic) to trash Kerry because of his French roots or whatever connection he had to France. And, yes, it’s become “standard right-wing rhetoric”…that’s the problem.

Meh..that rhetoric doesn’t bother me. American exceptionalism is standard political fair. JFK was pretty good at it too—but then again, today’s Democratic party has moved left since then.
