@Crazytree: Seriously. Throw her ass in solitary confinement for three weeks, no pen, no paper. That'd be more effective than three years of whatever the hell she's doing now.
OMG I was actually thinking about how we haven't heard from the hipster grifter in quite some time...
Someone needs to start a correspondence with her... anyone up for it? Preferably someone with a beefy supply of franks on hand.
I think it's the fact that Utahns go on missions. They travel all over the world. So the idea that someone could have father who is a Kenya and travel to Indonesia in his childhood isn't as, um, foreign as it is to most Americans. Scratch the surface of a birther and guarantee you a rabid xenophobe.
@Mediahohoho: I think you hit the nail on the head there. TheMormon communityis probably the only one where a large number of the members, across all economic strata, visit foreign countries for an extended period of time. And these aren't nice school trips to Europe, but extensive missions to Asia, Africa, South America where they live or try to live as part of the community and not as tourists. There's no elitism atached to the practice, and so no barely hidden fear or resentment of President Obama as someone who did something wierd or unamerican.
@ArgusRun: I'd only amend my original statement to add that I meant to say Mormons because I know that Utahns and Mormons aren't the same thing. Just close.
I may be completely misremembering, but during the elections wasn't there some study showing that states with nearly non-existent black populations and states with large black populations were generally less racist than states where blacks were a visible-but-not-too-populous minority? Or at least that was what was extrapolated from Obama's numbers in the primaries? Oy, I dunno - any Nate Silver groupies out there know what I'm talking about?
@Wendy_Kroy: Oh I am such a Nate Silver groupie. But I never paid attention to the numbers and words on his website...I just would click over there for the pictures...and that lovely, lovely map that turned a beautiful shade of blue as the election got closer.
Memories.
@Wendy_Kroy: You're mostly right, I believe. It was that Obama did well in states with no significant black population or a large one. In the former case, it was theorized that Obama did well with whites because there were hardly any black people to resent, however, in the latter case, Obama did just as poorly with white voters as he did in the mid-level states; it's just that there were comparatively less of them, and obviously, he crushed Hillary in the black vote.

I didn't realize this was a physical location, although if it must exit, I find it oddly comforting that of all people, she resides in Slut.
