Default Ann Rommey calls voters, "you people"

"you people" ??? The arrogance and elitism. It's just sad.

If Obama talked to people like this, angry wingnut heads would explode.

Quote:
Ann Romney defended her husband’s decision to not release any additional tax records during an interview on Thursday morning, saying that “we’ve given all you people need to know” about her family’s financial records.

The “you people” remark immediately sparked a outpouring of responses on Twitter, eventually leading the #YouPeople hashtag to become a U.S. trending topic.

Twitter users upset with Ann Romney’s comments generally fell into one of two categories: those that believe the Romney family should release tax records because of their extraordinary wealth, and those those took offense to the phrase “you people,” which has historically been used with an air of racism.

Others rushed to Ann Romney’s defense, arguing the family should not have to release any more financial records and refuting claims that the “you people” phrase was intended as a hurtful comment.
