Bren - She was called a racist. That is not debate. There is little one can be called that is worse than "racist". It was stated as a fact. It was also said about her without her being able to defend herself. That is a tactic of a bully, Slamming a defenseless individual.

And yes, An 80 year old lady DOES deserve to be treated differently than, say, a 50 year old man. If you don't think so, it is a free country, but in my world, the elderly AND ladies are treated with some reverence.

As for your "debate" comment - I agree with debate. However, Peter does not debate, he links to yet another left wing blog as "proof" of his "point".

Finally, She was in Houston as a private citizen, not as an elected official. I am not sure what "Dissent" has to do with smearing a private citizen, but I am sure you and Peter can justify that, too.
