Kantor's comments demolish Hillary's swing state argument once and forever |
|
Think of what the GOP would do with "worthless white ni**er" in the general in places like Pennsylvania and Ohio. This was Bill Clinton's lead trade negotiatior after all. How easy it is to sell white working class jobs down the river when your Commerce Secretary has utter comtempt for those people.
White men are a hard enough sell for any Democratic candidate as it is. Just as Wright gives the racist an excuse not to vote for Obama, Kantor gives the guy who'd rather not vote for a woman the perfect "out." The 527's would have a field day with this.
This argument won't make it into the media, but it will certainly be used by Obama's campaign with SD's in behind-the-scenes electability discussions.

5. what a great, salient point. This goes beyond the gotcha crap and punctures the Clinton |
|
Machine's entire rationale for existence.
If we can get this to go viral, it could really help kill off the "Insult 30 States and Ignore Them" strategy.

We knew that was bogus, hopefully people will hear this video and rethink their perceptions. I SO hope she's found guilty by association; she needs to know how that feels.

9. Think Clinton's man, who said you were shit ... white ni**ers protected US jobs? |
|
With folks like that it is no wonder NAFTA deficiencies came back to bite American workers in the ass.

10. As lead trade negotiator, maybe that's why he screwed Midwestern working people. |
|
Because he didn't care about them.

11. Bingo. As if the RW did not already have tons of ammo against Hillary. |
|
But this is a video. Betcha the RW had this, with ads ready to go, years ago.
