- I agree completely that she deserves it, and that is why attackes on Braun
- need to be successful ones. Rush's attack, although enjoyable from a
- conservative's viewpoint, was NOT productive. She must be forced to resign,
- as Packwood is facing, and this can only be done if the moderates take her
- actions to heart. It appears that he is going after her because she is a black
- woman ( to me, and I would like to get input from moderates on this ) !
- I realize it is Rush's job to be an entertainer first and informer second, but
- if something is going to get done he will have to tone down his attack.
-
- This attack is IMPORTANT, and it should not be derailed with alligations of
- racism and sexism. This weapons are too easily used in todays culture, and one
- needs to be extremely careful. I don't like the way it is, but we must work
- within certain PC constraints to be effective.
