Hillary disqualifies herself for president by continuing to run white vs. black campaign

[book_worm]

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on...(AP Poll) found how Senator Obama's support among working, hard working white Americans is weakening again, and how whites in both states (Indiana/North Carolina)who have not completed college were supporting me. A pattern is emerging here."--Hillary Clinton to USA Today.

She understood what she was saying she made sure to emphasize "white" not once but twice.

That is a statement worthy of Strom Thurmond in 1948 or George Wallace in 1968. I don't see Senator Obama countering by saying that she is showing near zero support among hard working black Americans (more than 90% for Obama in IN and NC) because he won't play racial politics.

What is with this woman? He's not a Muslim "as far as I know". She's prepared to be commander-in-chief and so is McCain "but you'll have to ask Senator Obama." and repeated attempts to bring race into this campaign.

And now there on TV speculating that Hillary thinks if she can't be the nominee she has earned the right to be VP? After this kind of divisive politics.

If this doesn't cause a huge outcry among super delegates I don't know what will. They need to end this NOW.

1. She did NOT fucking say that?! God damn. It's official. There's a new low.

OUT-FUCKING-RAGEOUS. Will some one please expunge KKKlinton out of our party? This is ABSURD.

3. Keith just played the tape on his show of her making this outrageous statement.

[Jazzgirl]

15. Want us to get you cable so you can watch it over & over until you see it?

:eyes:

bush has his 29% and I guess HRC does too.

19. I've been avoiding cable news lately in an attempt to stop the atrophying of my mind.

Looks like I made the right call.

I just can't believe she'd say that. I can't believe anyone could DEFEND her saying that. It just makes me so sad that we've had people that actually believe and support this shit in our ranks for so many years and we just didn't see it. At least I didn't.

Going back under my rock now...

2. She's just stinking up the place at this point.

Hide your bunnies, everyone.

[greenbriar]

6. "working, hard working white Americans..."

Was Hillary trying to say that lazy folks tend to go for Obama?

[Kittycat]

7. She's just helping the true democratic base consolidate

against her.

8. Her flippant "OBLITERATE" comment immediately disqualified her from any leadership position. nt

10. agreed

11. those remarks are disgusting

[David__77]

12. "Hard working white Americans?!?"

It gives one pause to hear such a thing said. All this talk of equating Black political organizing with "white political organizing" are off the mark. Black people are discriminated against and need to forge political organizations to fight for civil rights. White people have benefits due to their race. White-specific organizing is inherently aimed at preserving this privilege.

13. How, as President, after that can she sit down with the Congessional Black Caucus?

[book_worm]

14. I think you will see more uncommitted super delegates weigh in for Obama after this

16. I like the trickle effect, 4 again today, it gives each of them the spotlight for a day.

17. Somewhere along the line she morphed into George Wallace.

18. Or Lurleen Wallace--remember her? n/t
