  1. Benson,

    Donatella;

    This is the societal group from whence I came…

    Me too, darling. I am describing the thesis of Rick Perlstein in Nixonland and if you are looking for a fight from me, I don’t know where it is. I didn’t say anything about racism. I thought you were having a bad day and going to take two aspirins and put a damp rag over your forehead.

    Donatella;

    This is the societal group from whence I came. Why did I and many others like me leave? Well, just take a look at the characterization of the tea-partiers above, including your own. Advising folks that they are latent racists, and ignoramuses who don’t know where their true interests lie is not a winning formula.

    As a person in sales, I am astounded at how folks think these arguments will win the day. I’ve never made a sale by putting down my competitor. I win the day
    by convincing them of the merits of my product, or argument, as the case may be.
