Conservative blogger on racial epithets: "So what?"It's also important to distinguish "angry protesters" from particular individuals who cross the line into the kind real ugliness or violence that should be condemned.

I bet I won't be surprised.

I should feel bad for her, but I don't.
Earth to Ann! It's the racial and anti-gay slurs, stupid.
funny she doesn't seem to feel the same way when people express anger at something she wrote.
