http://www.politidose.com/I am sick and tired of the media narrative,
and now the Obama campaign's narrative, that Hillary and Bill Clinton, as well as their supporters, are racist. This is an insane notion to throw out to the American people, not to mention a complete and udder lie. So when I see commentators and pundits, both on television and in written articles, talk about the Clintons' racism and prejudice, it truly gets my blood boiling. Now, as Sam Stein of the Huffington Post reports,
"Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign has prepared a detailed memo listing various instances in which it perceived Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign to have deliberately played the race card in the Democratic primary. The document provides an indication that, in private, the Obama campaign is seeking to capitalize on the view - and push the narrative - that the Clintons are using race-related issues for political leverage.
