Hillary --You Are Really Acting Somewhat Strange
Hillary has to calm down. Her sense of entitlement to the nomination must now keep pace with the reality. If she really said that I am better at attracting white votes..or words to that effect--she should apologize now--for
really amazing lack of judgment. The fact that whites are
voting for her is nothing to brag about! She has to stop
believing that because Rush and Company like her
as the alternative that this is some sort of badge of honor!
No way. It is shameful. Her purported hero Martin Luther
King would be turning in his grave to hear such callow
insensitive remarks. He was all about judging the quality of the character. If Hillar as a national leader doesn't start setting an example in this area we are all lost. Hiding this kind of racism as some sort of canny realpolitik--facing facts etc is the quite low on the already low road she has taken in her inept campaign to date. Stop the race baiting now!

Our only hope is that people don't let her off the hook for all the ugliness and racism in this campaign. I would like to see some concrete atonement for this, not just some gladhanding or church visits. What we don't want to let happen is the Clintons thinking that they can kick everyone around like this, especially the black community, and then slap on some bandaids and everyone will forget about it. This attitude - that you can dick people over and then win them back when you need them - is plain offensive.
