And the first few times, no one noticed. Suddenly, it becomes
the most heinous thing she has ever said. Weird.
And not exactly convincing me that the recent reaction isn't
somewhat out of proportion, if the same comment can go virtually
unremarked months ago.

Sure. She made a poorly thought out, crass, comment more than once.
>She can fuck off now.
Frankly, it seems weird that she can publicly suggest some
fairly idiotic policies (that gas tax holiday thing was shocking),
and people seem to barely notice, and then she makes one comment that
people think is crass, and its like she kicked a puppy.
I'm not sure whether she just hit a nerve, or whether one
dumb comment has become the focus for a whole lot of anger against
her for unrelated things, or whether its all a cunning manipulation,
but it just seems odd to (emotionally uninvested, and currently not
that interested) me that this one tiny thing is getting such a
reaction, which seems to me quite out of proportion.
Cheers
David
