Race baiting by some so called Obama "supporters".

The Rendell comments have been posted several times.

Most include all quoted material.

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Gov. Ed Rendell, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton's most visible supporters, said some white Pennsylvanians are likely to vote against her rival Barack Obama because he is black.

"You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate," Rendell told the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in remarks that appeared in Tuesday's paper.

To buttress his point, Rendell cited his 2006 re-election campaign, in which he defeated Republican challenger Lynn Swann, the former Pittsburgh Steelers star, by a margin of more than 60 percent to less than 40 percent.

"I believe, looking at the returns in my election, that had Lynn Swann been the identical candidate that he was — well-spoken, charismatic, good-looking — but white instead of black, instead of winning by 22 points, I would have won by 17 or so," he said. "And that (attitude) exists. But on the other hand, that is counterbalanced by Obama's ability to bring new voters into the electoral pool."

While some remove the bolded paragraph, why?

1. It doesn't suit "the agenda" you see. Rendell must be portrayed as

cracker-whitey with a whip, a fellow who, as someone said here, is blowing a dogwhistle to alert all of the racist dogs to get out and vote for that racist Hillary Clinton.

It's pretty fucking reprehensible, but that is how some of these "supporters" (and I wonder who they REALLY support) roll.
