On To The REAL KKK'ers...

HILL DROPS A RACIAL BOMB

Hillary Rodham Clinton played the race card yesterday as she dismissed Barack Obama as a candidate who will have a hard time winning support from "white Americans."

It was the most starkly racial comment Clinton has made in the campaign, and drew quick condemnation from some Democrats.

She's been on the defensive ever since Tuesday's big loss in North Carolina and narrow win in the Indiana primary - dismissing calls to drop out.

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she told USA Today in an interview published yesterday.

She referred to an Associated Press story on Indiana and North Carolina exit polls "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hardworking Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

She added, "There's a pattern emerging here."

An analysis of racial breakdowns is always done behind the scenes by campaigns, but it's rarely discussed by a candidate openly.

The Obama campaign declined comment, referring to spokesman Bill Burton's statement to USA Today.

Burton, noting that Obama performed strongly among working-class voters in Indiana and did better with whites there than in Ohio, said the Illinois senator will appeal "to Americans from every background and all walks of life."

"These statements from Sen. Clinton are not true and, frankly, disappointing," he said.

Clinton's "white Americans" remark drew a swift rebuke from some superdelegates, and private dismay from several Democrats concerned about reuniting the factionalized party.

Muriel Offerman, a North Carolina superdelegate who has not disclosed her choice, said, "That should not have been said. I think it drives a wedge, a racial wedge, and that's not what the Democratic Party's about."

Asked about Clinton's comments, Massachusetts superdelegate Debra Kozikowsi said, "That's distressing. I'm not even sure how to respond to that."

Not that she is in error, but a sophisticated lefty candidate is never permitted to point to a black guy and make mention of his being a black guy. Liberal democrat rules and all that, but here she is trying to have it both ways.

As usual.

And please now, Mz Offerman, the democrat party is all about racial wedges, kiddo. Obama's pastor hates white people and makes no bones about it. From Day-1 Bill Clinton has been greeting each day by asking anyone who'd listen how the black guy was doing. Joe Lieberman called Obo the "clean negro", I guess so as to differentiate him from the dirty negroes. Were John McCain to be caught even thinking that...and believe you, me, the dems can and DO read minds just ask them...there'd be calls of LYNCH MOB! echoing from sea to shining sea.
