And don't call a black political candidate "articulate."
Now I could look at Romney and say he really dresses well and looks sharp all the time and is really articulate and no one would think anything negative about it. Say the same about Obama and some people would try to see it as a racial slur.

Lynching doesn't have to have a racial connotation, but it certainly was used that way in her statement and it's ridiculous to pretend otherwise.

How do you know she used it in a racially-directed manner, larrymcg421? Was she really trying to say the white guys should lynch the black guy? I don't think that is apparent at all.
