1. others have noted that most do not see racial tone to Clinton comments - but Obama screams victim &

6. I know you left the link, but you left out a lot of the quote
"Mrs. Clinton fired the first divisive shots of this campaign, and we have said before that if she is the nominee she will have to stretch herself to connect with Mr. Obama’s supporters.
