The Right is despicable, and any Hillary supporters who spouted this ridiculous talking point ought to be ashamed of themselves.

The Right wanted Obama to throw his minister under the bus, but he refused because he is a decent person. So then the Right went after him on talking about his grandmother. They just keep switching talking points!

we all have relatives who might fall into the category of racist. My own father, the things he says, the jokes he tells. Yet he loves his Korean grandson, his Puerto Rican grandaughter and his black great granddaughter and soon to be Mexican granddaughter-in-law with a passion. The world's a changin, and we all know it. Who are any of us to judge?

I hate it when fellow Democrats get all FoxNews and start taking things out of context, just because they have become hyper-partisan about their candidate. That's the thing that has me the most down about this primary fight, seeing people that I used to respect turned into zombies.
Yeah, he says he loved his grandmother despite the fact she was imperfect. My Polish grandmother said terrible things -- about Germans, and about other groups. I dearly love and respect her, even though I fundamentally disagree with her about the possibility of making generalizations about race or ethnicity.
Who could misunderstand that? It is a part of the American experience that everyone has seen, in books, on the news, in movies, even if not in their own lives. It pains me that this might simply be too raw, too true, too insightful for our body politic to process. What a gift! And yet we might be so sick that we reject it?
