I would put as much weight on the coloured people comment as some idiot yelling FU from road rage. Not classy, but not serious either.

Weighed against Dreschel's dripping cynicism, I think Butani's angry letter is less appalling. You would have to be a concrete thinker to take any clearly emotional writing at face value.

Dismissing someone as a nobody based on a factual but demeaning one-line description should be a much bigger crime. It is an ugly oversimplification that attempts to discredit the subject and thus manipulate voting. But the old boy's club endorsement can backfire like it did with DiIanni to put Fred in office.
