5/8/2008 - If the Next Primary is W.Virginia, It Must Be Time To Act Racist

Are you fucking kidding me???!

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

"working, hard-working, white Americans"???

Did she actually say that? Did she actually use that phrase in 2008?

Wow. That's below even her.

Or so I would have thought.

Shameful.

UPDATE: Just read THIS over at The Huffington Post (from Mike Barnicle):

"Now, faced with a mathematical mountain climb that even Stephen Hawking could not ascend, the Clintons -- and it is indeed both of them -- are just about to paste a bumper sticker on the rear of the collapsing vehicle that carries her campaign. It reads: VOTE WHITE."

Nailed it.

I'm just sayin'...

She's really getting desperate. Everything she says not only makes her look like an idiot, but is severely denting her chances of securing the presedancy if ever she does miraculously beat Obama.

I'm not one to defend HRC, but it may just be a case of poor phrasing. However, it's pretty tough to give the benefit of the doubt to someone who also said this...

Made her sound kinda elitist to me.

Rene, I saw that the other day and I swear to God I couldn't believe it wasn't made up. What's funny is that her spin meisters are saying that what she really said is "Rich people, God blessED us..." Yeah, right.

And Barack Obama is the elitist? Gimme a damn break.

Yeah, I read that her people were saying that we all heard wrong... I guess most of these politicians and their people think we're pretty frackin' dumb.

this is the really humorous part of this whole thing for me. The campaigning is going on and on and on. The whole thing started way earlier than normal, and has now gone on long enough to have made everyone loopy.

So thus, the gaffs are really starting to roll. Polished veteran campaigners and staff are starting to make more and more mistakes...which is hilarious.

peace,
Aielman

Turns out that her former chief strategest, Penn, actually thought that at least some Democratic primaries (California even) were "winner take all". Kinda changes your strategy when you're disabused of that particular bit of stupidity, I would imagine...

Ironically she owes Penn as much as $10 million right now. It's got a LOT of Obama supporters freaking out over talks that he might assume some of her debt if he's nominated (or at least help her raise funds) if a large chunk of those funds will go to that imbecile.

Some folks sleep on a problem, but you can camp on one as well. Camping is for the mind what a high-speed run on the highway is for a car. It tends to blow out all the sludge that accumulates in the type of urban driving most of us are forced to do in order to earn a living.
-- Tim Cahill

To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
-- Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The most alarming sign of the state of our society now is that our leaders have the courage to sacrifice the lives of young people in war but not the courage to tell us that we must be less greedy and wasteful.
-- Wendell Berry
