Ya Gotta Admit... Hillary Clinton Really Knows How To Rally Her Base...
Unfortunately, her base seems to consist mainly of frightened older white folk, but still, she knows just what to say to them.

Duct tape and plastic anyone???

3. Messiah thing is getting old.
If you didn't realize, it's the Hillary supporters who believe, above all reason, that their candidate is some kind of demi-goddess.

stopped her supporters trashing Obama.

25. Really?
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll be sure to tell my Uncle to let his family know (who happen to be muslim). You completely missed the point, and somehow that doesn't surprise me.

26. Well, quit calling Islam a race, and all will be good.
Bigotry against Islam is as wrong as racial bigotry...

But they're not the same thing. And you can tell you uncle--I'm sure he already knows the difference, though.

28. You know damn well...
that it brings up the entire muslim/terrorist/AA/middle-eastern AND YES racist thinking. But regardless, the polls showed that 20% felt that race was an indicator in their decision.

29. So you're buying into the right's smear of Islam...
by validating it by calling it a race.

That's not very smart. And it'll backfire.

22. Yes, that's right, all Clinton supporters are scared of blacks and Muslims.
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 07:44 PM by Beausoir
Nope...no race baiting in the Obama camp. None at all.

God forbid someone with less education than you profess to have is allowed to vote.

If you have any shame left, NOW would be a good time to deploy it.

Racist, elitest sick bullshit.

31. My Mom Has A 151 IQ...Graduated High School When She Was Fifteen
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 08:09 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
But it was the Depression and she had to support her widowed mom so she became a bookkeeper...

She didn't get to go to college... Perhaps she shouldn't be allowed to vote...

35. I hear ya. I really do. My parents were from the Depression, too. To think that some Obama folks
would look down on our parents and ridicule them and their experiences....makes me more convinced than ever that this guy is WRONG and not nearly ready to lead this country.

33. Are ALL Clinton supporters undereducated whites?
Or is it possible that I wasn't speaking of ALL Clinton supporters, but rather the demographic her current tactics were targeting.

That I was talking about ALL Clinton supporters was your assumption and your assumption alone.

32. Sorry to burst your bubble....
30-something white male here...only thing that frightened me was the thought of an inexperienced smooth-talker like BO leading our party. All talk...no substance.
