138. WHO's being racially divisive? Why, Hillary Clinton, of course.
Edited on Fri May-30-08 12:37 PM by Barrymores Ghost
"{The Associated poll} shows that Senator Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans -- white Americans -- is weakening again...whites {in Indiana and North Carolina} who had not completed college were supporting me...There's a pattern emerging here...These are the people you have to win if you're a Democrat in sufficient numbers to actually win the election. Everybody knows that." ~ Hillary Clinton -- May 7, 2008.

Isn't it racially divisive to equate "working Americans" and "hard working Americans" with "white Americans"? This is far more offensive then anything I've heard Obama's pastors say. And Clinton herself made these comments -- publicly! What will the world think of us if we elect a candidate who brags that she appeals best to "hard working, white Americans"? What will we think of ourselves?

Yep. There is a pattern emerging...for sure. First, it begins with Bill's South Carolina/Jesse Jackson crack, then moves on to Hillary supporter Geraldine Ferraro's assertion that Obama was only a contender because of his skin color (and Hillary was SO outraged over that bit of racist idiocy, wasn't she?), then we get Hillary's hint at "electability" comments, then it's her "white people voted for me" comment, and now she's truly arrived with her anything-can-happen-in-June-including-assassination tack.

The "lady" has no fucking shame, and no clue. Neither does anyone around her...and that includes her drooling, sycophantic followers that post drivel like what you've copied and pasted into your "OP."
