Need some help on analysis of these editorials that run in our local paper.

I find this woman's writing to be extremely offensive, but I would appreciate others opinions before I complain.

If you have the time, please take a look and see if you find this stuff to be way over the top. She criticizes people who write letters to the paper complaining about what she writes. She is part of the local tea party jerks who try to intimidate anyone who disagrees with them.

Here is the link: http://www.logandaily.com/blogs/lois_kempton/

Here is a short quote to get you started:
"The fact is, Mr. Obama has given the coward’s excuse. He will not face the fact that he is offending people by millions. Rather, he accuses them of bigotry for not adoring him. He is not honest enough to take the gaff.

Sadly most of the media will parrot this line, “whites are biased,” and pick open old sores continually, never letting them heal normally.

Such were my parents and pastors when I was a kid. Some of my best friends were “black,” if I had noticed. When I was a teen, my pastor’s wife and I spent two weeks at a time in Rendville holding summer Bible schools and staying in black homes. I ate the best fried chicken of my life! On Wednesday nights at the black Baptist church, how I loved it when they rolled out the great old spirituals!"

The Rendville she refers to was one of the segregated mining towns where the black miners where required to stay.

Thanks.

and as long as they shuck and jive and say stuff like "sho nuff!" she's perfectly happy.

They only offend her when they have Ivy League educations and become President.

Yeah, lady (and I use the term advisedly), gotcha.
