Devise
Maybe you are not aware of this device you often use, maybe it just comes naturally to you, but I doubt that. First you give your reaction to a statement you miss-read, then, after framing your column that way you realize, after re-reading, that you left out a key word or two in the original statement, so you revise your posit, but still refer back to your original incorrect framing. You still get in your visceral point that you created on your own acting as if you are writing stream of consciousness columns. If you were honest you would just start over and not do this little framing trick.
Donna did not marginalize working class whites and Latinos at all. She just stated the fact that Obama has actually built a bigger tent where no single group or class or race of Americans can dominate.
It would be helpful if you finally found your way into that tent instead of continuing to kick the tent pegs.
