Your little "you're not a liberal so you can't know what we think" routine is a great line. Unfortunately it's irrelevant. To borrow Art's line of thought we're all human and share concern for our nations direction right?
So it shouldn't matter what my political affiliations are or how long I've held them, what should matter is the single human voice crying out against perceived oppression.
Yes, while we argue about who is oppressing who, I'm reminded of the Nazis who felt the rich jews were the oppresors of the working man.
Exploiting class warfare, those with financial difficulties and pointing at a group for their problems is an old tactic. You may compare the right to Goebbels, but it is the left that follow his playbook daily.
I laughed when I read your comment about Hillary's "plantation" line playing well among black America. Of course it should play well! It is designed to stir reverse-prejudice against rich white "plantation" owner types. It was a line designed and intended to stir racist hatred. That someone as sensitive to human nature's foibles as you can't see this comes as something of a surprise.
I don't want to fall into the GOTCHA mode of political one-upsmanship postings here in the Zone.
I've never claimed the right is somehow perfect, much less the political right's representation in government. But the double standard here is quite obvious.
"We can call people names because we're humanitarians" doesn't seem like your best defense.

PS
Just tell us you were bit by the dog, plead rabies, get the necessary shots and we'll forgive you your lapse in "sensitivity judgment"
