    ok, the reason behind the reason. we have VERY different impressions of KateTex. i thought her very MUCH blame the victim/ hiding the "inner racist"/ twisting Obama to be the monster. i was ANGRY at her. you seemed to think she was speaking from some sort of goodwill, some intellectual framework. i don't think ANYTHING, certainly not anything involving race (or religion) is intellectual. i think the best diviner is the gut. and mine said, THOROUGH RACIST (and i really don't think i'll EVER change that opinion). so though i wouldn't talk like tom, my feelings were the same - and i didn't like you evening the odds. capische?
