All of the reports I saw in the MSM in this area portrayed it as some kind of racial insult, and certainly the 'Rats played it up as such. I myself had never heard it before so I had no idea of what they were talking about.

But this brings up a general point that has to be clear to anyone who follows the political trends. Given that the MSM is implacably hostile to any Republican/conservative candidate, they absolutely, positively have to know that anything even remotely construed as racial or insulting to the protected group de jour will be invariably amplified and broadcast from the rooftops by the MSM. It is a tremendous handicap because the other side is afforded no such scrutiny. As we learned from the Foley debacle, there are different standard for 'Pubs and 'Rats. Our candidates have to know that anything and everything they say will be combed and strained by the MSM for any possible dirt, or manner that it can be twisted and portrayed as "insensitive" or "racist". If there was any "stupidity" involved, it was not understanding this.

You are being niggardly with your logic.
