I understand, but I'm more sympathetic about the comment than you are I guess.  I fully appreciate your point- the idea that America inherently hates Democrats is not a good thing.  However, the specific Democrats that he was addressing/ referencing remain the face of the party.  Like I said, I'm not making excuses for what he said, I just think that given that the point he was making ultimately is mostly legit, I'm more willing to overlook it.
