Why? She was always interesting. What was the dog? Spotzy? I actually wondered what happened to her, now I know. Colourful, is what the media used to call her.

She might have been racist but she sure like to spend money to put a winner on the field regardless of her players color. The same cant be said for current Reds ownership who is currently being embarrased by Bengals football.

On the Howard Stern E! Channel show, Billy West did a terrific impression of her. Only problem was his racist bits were, perhaps, not that far off.

Banned from the stadium for what she had to says. In todays society, you better not say it, even if it may be the truth.
Refresh my memory - what did she say that was the truth that got her banned?

That's not what I said.
Okay. You actually said, "Banned from the stadium for what she had to says. In todays society, you better not say it, even if it may be the truth."
What exactly were you referring to?

Didn't she keep a picture of a Swastika in her office or something? You see the way legends continue.

I'm not looking to attack Marge, but I'm not looking to defend her either. So far, you have mentioned other problems that seem to me to be independent of what we are discussing. Thank you for those examples, but I still want to know what comments you were specifically referring to when you said, " "Banned from the stadium for what she had to says. In todays society, you better not say it, even if it may be the truth." I just want to know specifically what you were talking about. If I recall correctly, Marge said a lot of stuff. I'm not advocating treason or hypocrisy. I was just hoping you could expand on what you said about Marge in post 14.
