I don't take sides without more study than I'm willing to put into this. But if http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Deen#Racial_discrimination_controversy is all the mob against her have got, well, it's not much of a case. They don't even give the dates that she allegedly said/thought these things.
Suppose 50 years from now, you get attacked for saying "That sucks!" in 2013. That's a slur against a sexual minority. I hope it becomes a taboo expression, but using it in 2013 isn't grounds for a mob ruining your career in 2063.
More important: Texas Governor Perry has called ANOTHER special session for July 1 to try to pass his anti-abortion bill.
Also more important: some dog-friendly kittens in Chattanooga need adoption, and the fee is only $35 each. See http://cmpriest.livejournal.com/1330032.html , details at the bottom of the entry.
