I had a hard time understanding why there was such a furor over this. I don't know much about Brown, but calling someone a bigot after they express a sentiment on the level of "Keep them types out of this country!" seems like the proper approach to me.
I thought the political outrage was supposed to occur when things were the other way around, like Trent Lott praising segregation or George Allen's "macaca" remark. Not when a politician calls someone else out on exhibiting a rather racist streak.
