Quote from james_bond_3rd:
I still assume it's racial. You're trying to squirm out of it but so far have been unconvincing. I was just pointing out how improbable other excuses would be.
You're just following Limbaugh's attack line. Again, whether she is indeed proud of America or ashamed of it, is irrelevant. It doesn't scare me. It shouldn't make her more scary than anyone else.
Your invocation of "She is scarier" without explaining the reason, is one of the typical tricks used by racists to arouse racial hatred. Here is a great example:
"Almost everyone I've talked to says 'we're going to move to Houston. What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."
The "scary black man" has permeated our culture so much. It has become our cultural prejudice. So if you state that some black dude scares you, and do not explain why, then you're invoking the cultural default, that of the "scary black man." And you can't pretend that it's not racist.
And let me tell you why McCain is scary. Simple, he'll go to war with Iran. He'll go to war with China. That, my friend, is truly scary.
