Re: “Democrats sharpen claws on Bauer's starve the strays speech”
To those who keep saying he didn't compare people on public assistance to stray animals: he used a metaphor, and if you don't understand that, then the public education system in South Carolina has failed you. If he wants to begin an honest dialog about poverty and dependency, then he picked a heck of a way to start, by polarizing the two camps and solidifying the destructive stereotypes that keep any kind of dialog from happening. I am thankful, however, that he said out loud what most conservatives would only say among like-minded friends. Now we know who Mr. Bauer really is.
