=====================
No, I did not read that, but have read your quoted text of what he said.  I
find it funny that he would take exception to the 'stereotyping' issue,
since that seems to be the core of the problem that I have with him.  It
flies in the face of where it's ok for him to do it, but not ok for others. 
BTW, when I said 'you all', I did in fact mean 'you all'.  If he would take
the time to read what I wrote, he would understand that.  I was talking about
'you all' in a collective sense, i.e. specific individuals in this group, not
a generalization of conservatives.  So it seems that he's trying to make
something out of nothing.  

Correcting me on my grammar doesn't win points with me either.
