I didn't take it as hatred - just sheer, unadulterated frustration. Sort of how I felt after the 2000 election and when Clarence Thomas was nominated. I knew the candidate would be a woman, however I do feel there were/are better candidates out there, Kathleen Sullivan for one. The powers that be decided it was the right time for a Hispanic. That's fine.

Pat expressed his opinion, and Rachel disagreed with him. If this had been on O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck or Ingraham, the hosts would have been hauled off in strait-jackets, screaming all the way. That's what I like about Rachel. She keeps her cool.
