I am shocked and horrified by the blatant and nasty racism and homophobia as well as more subtle but equally egregious sexism in the above comment.

Apparently the things that make a person the least electable are black race, female sex, and homosexual sexual orientation. The statement is that if someone were to have these worst-of-worst qualities, being a Thatcher would trump the issue. Is this sort of comment allowable on a forum like this? I shudder.
