As I've started saying lately, the Huffington Post is part of the problem. They are a profit venture that benefits from this extended primary. They stoke controversy and have acted irresponsibly and you know it. The Huffington Post has done nothing to dispell the lie that Clinton can catch up. She can't and the Slate Delegate Calculator proves it. Jonathon Alter said it on MSM and they quit letting him talk about it. Its all about money and greed. At least at OpEdNews they allow people to submit truthful essays about Clinton's dying campaign.

Dear Democratic Party: Please Don't Become Racist

By Bruce Allen Morris at OpEdNews

ANY talk of denying Barack Obamba the Democratic nomination because working class whites won't vote for a black man is racist. Stop it and squash it. Now.

There was, early Friday morning a huge lead on Huffington Post about how the mainstream media was turning away from Barack Obama as the Democrat most likely to win in the fall. The reason? Well, just read these quotes from the story and its sources.

....
But what are they asking the Democratic party to do about the specter of racial prejudice arising in their primary?

Are they asking the Democratic party to contest this assertion head on and state that white working class Democrats and the white working class in general is better than that? That these people are not racist and that Democrats trust not only that they have cast their primary votes for other reasons, and that they will vote for either Democrat in the fall because both are far superior in every way for those voters and the country than John McCain?

No, that is not what Democrats are being asked or advised.

Are the Democrats being asked to use this moment to heal racism everywhere it exists in America, showing that even though of mixed race, Barack Obama is the best person for the job and asking Americas to examine closely and set aside or reconsider their feelings based on race?

No, this is not what is being asked of the Democratic party.

Alright, then, are the pundits and advisors asking the Democratic Party to assert that even if some Democratic white working class voters are racist, that the party can rise above that and still win in the fall with Barack Obama because he will appeal so strongly to other voters, young voters, new voters, independent voters and even many Republicans sick and tired of what their party has done?
