Really, where is the demand to denounce and reject now? Up to now, a lot of Democratic voters have admired her "toughness" enough to think she's a cinch to win in November. But at some point most of her supporters have got to see that her implicit approval of her supporters' overtly offensive remarks is pretty much against what the Democratic Party has been about this past 40 years at least.

This is likely the thing that's turned the party against her. The more she attacks Democratic values, the less the vast majority of Democrats are going to stand with her. Pretty soon all she'll have is Fox News to keep her dreams alive.

The racism in all this is soooo ugly.

The Clinton were always happy to pal around with minorities and treat them like 'junior partners'. They were very patronizing, and would visit communities and mouth some pandering words. the proverbial pat on the head.

But when a minority candidate has the nerve to challenge and beat the Clintons, they can't believe it. All the vile starts spilling. "How dare he!"

They would never have acted like this against someone who they really respected. That's how I would sum up the whole Clinton campaign: Deeply deeply disrespectful.

After watching Harriet Christian from Manhatten in that video I feel a very strong need to hold and pet a kitten. Most mind-boggling is that Hillary and Bill continue to assert they have nothing to do with the divisiveness that increasingly defines them. Anybody else think Harriet may just be a wee bit of a racist? I guess it is a good thing that this campaign is proving to be an unmasking of a number of the closeted biggots. You can obviously support Clinton for non-racist reasons, just as you can support Obama for non-sexist reasons. But when the very idea of the person getting the most delegates becomming the nominee causes one to blow a gasket which they then put in racial terms, well, it doesn't take a lot to figure out that they have a wee bit of a problem with African-Americans.
It all brings me head back to one of my favorite federal circuit court opinions I used to like to quote in briefs I was writing in discrimination cases. In that opinion, the judge, explained that few victims of discrimination could produce outright proclamations of racism in this day and age because, as he put it, "Racists, like the serpent in Eden, are more subtle." And while Manhatten Harriet isn't exactly subtle in the video I do think she shows her racist colors rather clearly, don't you??

Wow, racist and angry.

What stuns me still is that these so called democrats would rather see a republican in office over a candidate from their own party.
There is far too much at stake to be so petty and spiteful. Go ahead and throw the baby out with the bath water just because your candidate is not the nominee. If you are going to do that don't call yourself a democrat, go an register as an independant. The Democratic Party doesn't need your support if you are going to vote republican.
To all of those people who will vote McSame because Billary is not the nominee, think long and hard about what you are doing. You and every American will have to live with the consequences of your actions, just because you are having a tantrum. How many more troops will have to die because you voted against your own party? How many more contractors will profit from the deaths of our troops? How many millions more Americans will be spied on because you didn't get your own way? How many more Americans will be bleeding tax dollars into the hands of contracors just because of Billary didn't win the nomination? How much of the planet do you really want to see destroyed through unchallenged climate change because you are being spiteful?
Think long and hard before you do vote McSame, then think long and hard again. This election is not abut you, it's about saving what is left of this country. This is not abut you or Hillary, it's about doing what is best for this country.

Just go to Hillary's web site if you want to see more of the same. The comments about the decisions today are so far over the top it is laughable. Each and every one a repeat of the other. And they want to pretend that Obama supporters are cultlike. Those folks are fanatics. It will be better to win the election without them. Then they, and the Clinton's will be owed nothing.

Yup, Harriet's channeling Geraldine for sure.

Hillary created this. She's been playing up her victimhood. She never told Ferraro to knock off the racist talk. So, it's not at all surprising to see her supporters acting like this.

Sad.

I think that was East/West.

This woman characterizes the nature of the Clinton campaign - ugly, bigot, racist, deluded. Mrs. Clinton has been the weather vane of contemporary politics, turning into whichever direction the wind blows. WHY did have Ms. Power have to resign early on for telling the truth:"She is a monster. She will stoop to anything to get elected." Mrs. Clinton has proven time and again that Ms. Power was correct. It is time to expel Mrs. Clinton and her husband from the Democratic party for abusing the Democratic nomination process for their own political circus. These two do not reflect Democratic values.

Come on, guys... that woman's not a racist.

She's just ticked off.

And it is a little frustrating for people on either side to have to deal with the party making its own decisions on issues like this.

Put yourself in her shoes. She's a passionate Clinton supporter, a party member, a party voter and likely a party donor who wants some say in a major party issue and as she says, the party didn't even want to tell her where the committee was meeting, nor does the party give her an audience once she gets there.

In the end, I'll bet she was more angry at being turned away than anything else and that's understandable.

Harriet, IRON MY SHIRT!!!

This is her core base? Something to be really proud of, eh?

The bottom line is Hillary fed this ugliness with her speeches...over the last few months and then weeks the words have been ratcheting up. She's spinning these supporters of hers into raving loons. She knows exactly what she's doing - it's criminal - these are vunerable people and she's exploiting their pain and past injustices (whether percieved or not).

There is a reckless disregard for how this will affect the party, it really is a slash and burn tactic. Shame on her for using these women in this way, she can't go back to them in a couple of weeks and convince them to vote for Obama...nor do I think she ever had any intention of doing so. Disgraceful.

I feel like such a fool because I EVER defended her and Bill...

Oh, you poor dear! You sound so offended. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Please close your eyes for the rest of the campaign, because it's going to be so sad, so raw, so ugly, so beneath you.

Time to STOP demonizing Clinton supporters. One angry nut case does not reflect upon many of her dedicated and more rational supporters. Obama supporters wouldn't want to be demonized by such a selfish nut as Rev Wright or the other looney at that church. Speaking as an Obama supporter myself. Let's do what our candidate asks of us. Calm down.

This is one way of looking at it that might help... http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/06/the-understandable-anger-at-th.php

This is all about understanding and creating unity.
