Speaking of Democrats "going Postal"

Can someone send Clinton the message, not to sabotage my party...

We have a war to end, a planet to save, and depression to avert.

MI and Fl broke the rules, their state governments disenfranchised their own voters. Clinton is turning down reasonable compromises, so she can feed the flames and sabotage the democratic nominee.

Democrats are still going postal, even now.. sigh

Clinton says Obama's support among "hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again.

Here's an audio clip from the Clinton interview with USA TODAY's Kathy Kiely:

Transcript:

"How does Hillary Clinton win the nomination?"

Hillary responds:

Well, Kathy, you know, there was just an AP article posted, uh, that found how Senator Obama's, uh, support among, uh, working, uh hard-working Americans, uh white Americans, is, uh, weaking again, uh, and how, uh, the, you know, whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me and independents.. um.. I was running even with them and doing even better with Democratic-leaning Independants. I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on.

And this response from Mydd. Reading through the comments, it's pretty amazing to consider what the Obama supporters are saying about Clinton.

Let's refresh on what she said: "Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

Now, when Barack Obama made his claim about the "typical white person", it didn't mean anything, he was just talking generalities; and the same thing with Clinton here, but even less so [but a 'gaffe' in the same manner]. Clinton clarifies that she's talking about working Americans that Obama is not doing well with, which are typically white, and she's "ugly and divisive"? This is a lame stretch. In fact, had she had not clarified it to say "white Americans" it wouldn't have been a true claim, because Obama is doing very well among black working Americans.

Jay Cost has a blog post showing how Obama's percentage among black voters has been increasing, as a trend, with each contest:

Supporting or opposing Clinton or Obama does not a misogynist, or a racist make (a minor side point: I've never seen any expression offered on this blog, that'd make me consider anyone here to be either of the two. We are all nice people, yeah? :) ).

Still, such vile opinions do exists amongst voters, and will certainly be a factor in the election.

I don't think it too far a stretch to consider Clinton's response as an attempt to — well, not to pander to uneducated, racist whites, but rather to scare Democrats (who are so frightened of the prospect of another Republican President) into believing that there are too many racist whites in this country, for a black man to be elected.

It's a valid point. But a very dirty one.
