I read on previous blogs, Paula Deen also supported Obummer’s run for the presidency. So methinks liberal leanings for sure. So, the “n” word is hurtful...we do have freedom of speech...lots of ethnicities/religions (Polish, Jews, Mexicans, etc.) suffer joking, sometimes malicious, but the old adage, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me” should apply. When did we all get so thin skinned? I’ve never been a Paula Deen fan, too hokey for me, BUT I think she got the bum’s rush here.
