HILLARY PATRONIZES LOUISIANA VOTERS
It is these patronizing comments that just alienate even more voters.
Hillary Clinton on Monday said that Obama won in Louisiana because he's black:







Clinton dismisses weekend losses

..She told reporters who had gathered to watch her tour a General Motors plant here that "everybody knew, you all knew, what the likely outcome of these recent contests were."

"These are caucus states by and large, or in the case of Louisiana, you know, a very strong and very proud African-American electorate, which I totally respect and understand."



If that is true, then WHO is voting for Hillary?

Records unearthed in Ireland reveal that Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama can trace his ancestry back to a shoemaker in a small Irish village, according to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times

1. As a white person who voted for Obama in the LA primary
that felt like a pretty hard slap in the face.

No, Hillary, you didn't lose my vote because you were white. You lost it because you're running the most arrogant, race-baiting, divisive campaign I've ever seen, and have made yourself into a victim at every opportunity.

3. Yep, you don't count
I, a Latino, hold the power of this election in my hand. But I didn't vote for Clinton (hee hee)!

(On the serious side, most of these narratives about who the real democrats are are inane.)

6. I'm an Ohioan.
What will Hillary say about me when I vote for Obama? What will she say about Ohio when we choose Obama?

:scared:

7. What is this racist statement?
Edited on Tue Feb-12-08 03:04 PM by GreenTea
"Records unearthed in Ireland reveal that Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama can trace his ancestry back to a shoemaker in a small Irish village,"

Does that means hes has white blood? Is that what your insinuating?

SO WHAT?

Then what's the reason?

8. Funny, I don't recall Obama dismissing New Hampshire as having
a "very strong, very proud White electorate", or of California having a "very strong, very proud Latino and Asian electorate". Somehow Obama takes his losses like a trooper and a professional and forges on without insulting broad segments of society--which is why I support him and not her.

16. Exactly.
Edited on Tue Feb-12-08 04:33 PM by woolldog
HRC and Bill are CONSTANTLY bringing up race to explain away losses.

Obama NEVER bring up race to explain away losses. He NEVER brings up gender to explain away losses.

That is why people see the Clinton campaign as race-baiting and divisive. Her and her supporters are trying to play the race card to cast doubt on Obama's electability.

9. You win, but you still whine ...
Usually, the winners are happy. This is a new phenomenon in American politics.

12. She uses you and leaves you as quick as she can
Remember she didn't even stick around in SC for a concession speech and to thank all her supporters there. She was already in another state when the race was called.

15. A native and voted Obama in Hillary Clinton's home state
This is one of the reasons why.

Between her and her husband this country will be set back forty years due to all the hateful race baiting they are doing.
