I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Let's assume she didn't hear it at the time. Why then did she not address it at her next rally, or the rally after that? I mean, I joke a little when I say that she doesn't watch the news or read (papers or otherwise), but I'm sure someone in her camp at least told her about it. To me, that speaks volumes about her and their campaign. They don't care what kind of win they get, a win is a win, even if it's coming from racist bigots.

And that joke where McCain corrected that woman came only after the media was saturated with the turn in the tones his rallies had taken. Before everyone was reporting on it, he said nothing. His camp said nothing. So don't try to make it out like they're just lost little lemmings who have no idea what's going on around them and once they found out what was really happening, they started making changes. I call BS on that idea.

These types welcome bigotry and racism and hatred of people who are different than them. They love it. They thrive on it. And they'll use it to their advantage every chance they get until the price becomes too high to bear (being called out on it) and they have to reign it in to save some face. But don't think for one second that any of us believe the tone of their rallies is not 100% intentional and fully supported by them behind the scenes. Like it's all a fucking accident or something. Lord.
