Pretty thin skinned, if you ask me. I'm much more interested in the dynamics of the tony Liberals seething in rage about "their Hamptons" being contaminated by riff-raff.

Racism, anyone?

Reminds one strongly of how Cronkite, Kennedy, and the rest of the most poisonous Liberals are howling at the prospect of a wind farm being built off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, where they might have to look at it when they are at sea in their huge yachts. Wind farms are for us peasants, of course, not them.

I swear to God the word racist is going to end up as laughable as communist was in the 60's.

Grow a spine people, it's not all about your race...

sheesh...

It's about time someone showed a little creativity in political ads.

Weir believes the incident was racially motivated because she rarely uses her Latino surname as a public official, and that name was highlighted on the toilet seats.

Seems like a bit of a stretch she is making. She should find a way to make this toilet ad work in her favor without claiming racism.

She may have a point. If she were a Democrat, and Republians did this to her, you know it would be all over the evening news and the headlines. But, since it was perpetrated by Democrats, there's no story. And, why have the Dem's not done this to a white candidate before (or have they)?

Use her name and get the best seat in the house.

How is a toilet racist?

Tasteless, maybe. But what particular characteristic of her race lends itself to equating her to excrement?

None, that I know of. She needs to quit using race in her protests of a political hack job...

Almost as funny as the signs posted in certain parts of Baltimore telling people that election day was Wednesday and they should have their rent/tax/parking ticket receipts ready. >:)
