Hillary Says White Blue Collar Workers are Uneducated Racist s
Edited on Thu May-08-08 11:16 AM by CindyKay
Well those were not Her Exact Words BUT How else can one decipher that Hard Working White Americans who Never Attended College & Won't Vote for Obama. In Essence She Called Us All " Uneducated White Racists ".
I Think America is better than that , I think there are Tons of Blue Collar Workers ( Not All Of Them Are WHITE ) that are Decent Intelligent Individuals & learned in the School of Hard Knocks & Life Experiences. She should be Ashamed yet I am Sure She Isn't !

Thank God She Will Not Be Our Nominee , I Hope She loses Her Senate Seat & gets thrown out on Her ASS!

1. Hillary is trying to appeal to the worst in people.
She is GOP.

7. She didn't imply they are retards...
...she implied that they are racist. Oh, and she also implied that they have no desire to become better educated and she doesn't give them the benefit of the doubt. She assumes that because they voted for her, that they are racists that would not vote for a black man.

I don't know, are you comfortable being called a racist by your candidate? I know if I were a Hillary supporter, I'd be a bit offended by the suggestion.

10. They are a voting bloc.........get it?
Just like Blacks are a voting block, Jews are a voting block. You people are so paranoid.

14. Historically speaking...
...can you please tell me the last time a Democratic nominee was resoundingly rejected by the "blacks and jews" voting blocks for being white? Because here you are defending Hillary saying that her "base", those "hard-working white Americans", won't vote for the democratic nominee if he's a black man. "You people"? And just who would be "my people" that are so paranoid?

26. You people=Obama supporters
No one is saying that white working class people will not vote for Obama. All we are saying and all Hillary is saying is that so far the polls show that she is getting that voting bloc. It is the largest voting block of Dems in the country and always has been. They are more moderate/mainstream than left leaning liberals. Go back and look at you political history.

38. and Obama supporters aren't elitist because most of them went to college
People who have attained higher education have tended to vote for Obama. That doesn't mean that any of that bloc of voters look down at Clinton supporters who are working class without a college degree.

4. Take a hint from your candidate.
The worst thing Obama could do right now is attack Hillary or her supporters. You are destroying the respect for Obama that he will need from about half of the Democrats out there. And you are even driving some Dems to become Independents who will vote for McCain. Obama seems to be much smarter than his fans.

18. In a way I agree but not completely
I asked yesterday that we all stop fighting & move on. I thought that Hillary would continue in the race without trying to run Obama down. Well I Was Wrong , She will continue to try & drag him down so she can run in 2012 & that isn't going to happen. First of all Obama will be the next POTUS & He will serve 2 terms , She will not get another chance Until 2016 . She is doing whatever is necessary to F**k this up because She knows 2016 is way too late for Her. However if in the Coming days I see that she has refrained from taking shots at Obama then I will leave Her Alone ! Until Then All Bets are OFF!!!!! She Is Fair Game !

35. She is making the case that she can do better . .
. . against McCain than Obama. You and others who have an emotional attraction to Obama see that as "trying to run Obama down". I'm sorry but that is exactly what candidates are supposed to do - convince voters that they could achieve the voters' goals better than their opponent. I assume beating McCain and putting a Dem in the white house is one of your goals.

Your post is simply a list of fabricated memes that you use to justify your Hillary-hate. That hatred for a good and honorable Dem who fought a good and honest fight but seems to be losing that fight will have a lasting effect on many people who now call themselves Dems but may decide to change their minds because of crap like this.

I know you are caught up in the emotionality of it all right now and can't possible understand what I'm saying - but someday you will realize that Obama is not the Messiah. He's just a politician in a system where he will have limited ability to make positive change. If he makes it to pres he will need the support of large numbers of Americans to achieve that change. You are eroding and destroying that support.

42. Wrong
I am NOT Emotionally Involved with Obama & I would have PROUDLY Voted for Her EXCEPT She changed My Mind. I was a Biden supporter , after He left I decided to Vote for Whomever won the Dem. Nomination THEN Hillary started Mocking Obamas Speeches & Lying about Bosnia & Nafta. She was Arrogant so I decided to choose Obama. You don't know Me so how can You say I am Emotionally Attached to Anyone?

--and that she can be more macho than an ex-pow.

5. Hey Cindy
Edited on Thu May-08-08 10:53 AM by GoneOffShore
Welcom to DU.

And you have the longest profile I've ever seen on this site!!

That being said - your assessment of HRC's remarks does little to help heal any rifts in the party. As an Obama supporter, I'm not a great believer in Capitalized Rants.

Perhaps you should try some decaff before posting?

29. I'm Sorry
but She made Me Very Angry Today. I was expecting Her to continue without attacking Obama & it didn't happen.
Frankly I would have been Proud to Vote for Hillary Until She started in on Obama.

As for My profile I had thought that maybe others would like to know a little about who they were talking to, I sometimes wish I knew but there are not too many Profiles on here that actually give any information at all.

12. Perhaps, if the poster stays long enough
she may moderate her language. Though, it's going to be a tossup between how quickly that happens and whether someone has called for a pizza delivery.

19. Biden's slip was a lapse in ignorance that meant no harm
which is why you won't hear blacks berating him. Hillary's plan is cold and calculated. She knows that she's only getting single digits with the black vote so she's decided to screw them and play the race card.

28. Right. I really believe that it's not out of choice that Biden has not frequented circles where
there are a significant number of AA. It's his age and his position ... it doesn't lend itself with mixing with the AA culture.

Biden is a brilliant statesman. His IQ is sometimes his own worst enemy. ;)

33. As a black man I have nothing against Biden
and think that he's a wonderful Senator who would be a worthy addition to Obama's executive team if he wants a cabinet position or V.P. consideration. You don't have to frequently hang out with blacks in order to not disrespect them publicly like Hillary is doing.

13. I urge you to re-word your OP
As the sister of a retarded woman, I urge you to rethink your post. It is highly offensive. The use of the word "retard" as a pejorative is as sick as using the "n" word. Shame on you for using a debilitating birth defect to demean people.

21. The word "retarded" like "imbecile" is DISCOURAGED for use in medical literature.

16. Oh, and are you the same CindyKay
that wrote this just yesterday?

"I realize that We are tempted to go after eachother but I believe it is Time to stop the In Fighting & come Together so that We may Kick McINSANES Ass in Nov.

I will no longer be trashing Hillary ( I think that is the first time in a long time that I have used her real name ) , I would hope that We can End this Race without completely trashing our Chances for a Dem. Win . Relax People , take a deep breath & think before You react . Let's Stop this Now or We could Pay for it later.

I do not expect this to happen Immediately but I believe We can rise above the Insults & carry on with Dignity."

Interesting...

22. All due respect to Clinton..
But I have to agree. Her statements seem to infer that "white working class voters" are racist, which seems insulting to that constituency to me.

Can you imagine the uproar if Obama had said "She is having trouble drawing the black vote. I always get the black vote."?

He said if Clinton is the nominee, he would expect AAs to vote for her without hesitation; "they like her". :wtf:

32. Welcome to DU! Now, regarding your profile ...
I Believe We are Illegaly Occupying Iraq & Murdering Thousands of innocent People Including Our Own. Agreed!

I Believe Bush & His Kind Are WAR CRIMINALS! Agreed!

I Believe NAFTA & CAFTA GAVE US AN ECONOMIC SHAFTA! Agreed!

I Believe in a Women's Right To Choose. Agreed!

I Believe Illegal Immigration is A Huge Problem , it Ties into OUR NATIONAL SECURITY. Our "immigration system" is little more than Trafficking In Human Labor and exploiting impoverished people - people impoverished by the exact same interests seeking to cheapen human labor for their own self-interests.

That said I Don't think We can Round Everyone Up & Send Them Back. Agreed. Merely criminalize hiring illegal aliens and enforce draconian (confiscatory) penalties on corporations exhibiting a pattern of such hiring.

I Think We Should PUT UP A BORDER We MUST Stop The Flow! Our Immigration Laws must reflect HUMAN values and NOT corporate values ... and MUST be enforced. Without enforcement, no legal system is morally legitimate.

We Document the Illegals & Fine the Employers who knowingly take advantage of the situation. Agreed!

I Believe Homosexual Couples Should be Free to Marry & Adopt so that they can have Families & All the Legal Benifits it will provide them. Agreed!

I Believe We have Forgotten About the Seperation Of CHURCH & STATE and that Fact is Pissing Me Off. Agreed!

Keep Your Religious Beliefs to Yourself. Religion is a Personal Choice Not A Mandate for All Americans! Agreed!

We Are All Free To Practice Whatever Religion We Choose & No One Religious Belief Should Be held as Superior. Agreed!

This Is Not A Christian Nation So Get Over It! Agreed!

Oh & Most Importantly I Always Knew
George The Dick-Tater Bush Was A DOUCHE BAG!!!
Well, douche bags serve an (arguably) useful purpose. Cheney/Bush don't.
