Yeah, I've seen TYT, as well as a whole lot of other calculatedly angry, hip firebrands who have fallen in love with their new Messiah. Do you really think they are NOT going to cherry-pick their material to present Clinton as evil and Obama as virtuous? Their worldview is about as analytical as manga -- good vs. evil with brilliant 20-something guys (like TYTs) as the heroes.
"People who voted for Clinton aren't racists, but racists voted for Clinton and she embraced their votes. See how that works?" I do see how that works. You're trying to convince me that you can read minds and determine who is guilty of racism -- especially Hillary Clinton. But you want people to think you're a deep thinker, so you've dressed it up in a suitably philosophical rationale, and rhetorically shackled Clinton to the Klan. It sounds like the pinnacle of formal logic and social consciousness, but it's still just college-educated lying.
So how do you know who is and who isn't a racist? We just have to assume all Hillary voters are racists (and "ignorant racist hicks") until you tell us otherwise. Because you, and TYT, etc., are more intelligent than we are.
By the way, about those "ignorant racist hicks" ... WV was home to a large abolitionist movement. It seceded from the Confederacy and moved to abolish slavery a few months later. The city folk were pro-slave, but not the "hicks". They're only "hicks" because of your own socially-acceptable bigotry -- and because they voted for someone other than Barack Obama.
"... she and her campaign had no qualms about exploiting existing racial prejudices in order to get votes" And if you repeat it often enough, people may actually believe you. Which is scary.
"And the Hillary-as-Hitler YouTube video is really a parody of a parody, so stop pretending it's not funny, or that it violates Godwin's Law. There were already ones made regarding Tom Brady, outsourcing customer service, Windows Vista, etc., and it's all very funny (though some are better than others)."Yeah, dictate to me what's funny and what isn't, and use Internet 'leet references
("it violates Godwin's Law") to make your sophomoric case. Because
everybody has the same cultural references that you do. But it's still Hillary-as-Hitler. Let's put Obama's face onto a picture of a klansman and see how that works, shall we? But wait -- we can make a sly inside joke about MacOS to cover our asses! Laugh, damn it, laugh! And no pretending it isn't funny!
You have proven my point for me -- anyone who supports Clinton can be
assured of being accused of racism (and a long list of other personal failings). The accuser will hide behind the double-speak of " ... but not everyone who votes for Clinton is a racist. Only we know the difference. And we're not saying." This is the Axelrod Strategy. It has served Obama -- and his followers -- well.
The accusations of racism were

Team Obama is going to blame, hector, intimidate, and insult half the Democratic party into voting for John McCain, lose the election -- and blame it all on Hillary. Except that by that time, no one will believe a word that it has say.

"What I am absolutely convinced of is that everybody here is committed to racial equality (and have) been historically."
