Was Teresa Heinz considered cooky and irritating when she was a Republican married to Senator Heinz? Did the Republicans just consider her outspoken as the Democrats do now? I know nothing about her from that time. Did all of this animosity begin when she became Teresa Heinz-Kerry the Democrat?
I think that people also resent that she remarried. Americans like their young widows to remain tragic symbols. They don't like them remarried and happy. Many people resented when Jacqueline Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis. They felt that she was disloyal to her husband President Kennedy's memory.

OK she managed to say quite a few embarassing things as a Republican as well. My favorite was the whole mess she got into with the African-American community when she said she was African American.
And people come on, The1CalledTKE repeatedly posts up pictures of Bush, even one comparing his face to a monkey. I think this was much less offensive.
And no Cream, people aren't against her because they find her smart. She makes ridiculous comments that rub people the wrong way. George Bush does it too with the stupid ass shit he says like "Do you have blacks too?"
