The "logic" on DU is amazing ... truly Through the Looking Glasss.

[TahitiNut]

In summary, it appears that many are, at least in effect, accepting the notion that Obama is benefitting from racism and Clinton is penalized due to sexism.

Wow. Stunning. :wow:

Sell stock in bakeries, folks, because it has now been demonstrated that having a cake and eating it too is deemed rational.

Will the last person to escape the smoking ruins of the Democratic Party please take Clinton's matchbox from her?

1. It truly is odd isn't it

I don't think it's that pervasive but christ on a stick it is really weird to see what kind of drivel people will post. Perhaps it's an excess of alcohol or something?

3. It's so pathetic and so, so sad. I really can't believe how blinded people have become.

4. It's such bullshit...I am so sick of the bullshit.

It makes me tired.

6. It looks like no one is getting out alive

I really don't think most people have a clue as to the depth of the destruction that team Clinton has done to the party.

:argh:

7. I agree, look around here too. Racism is run amok. this place looks like FR and not DU

11. They're too busy being her koolaid drinking cheerleaders. n/t

8. A point a lot of people seem to ignore:

The only people to make an issue of Obama's race? The Clinton campaign.

The only people to make an issue of Hillary's gender? The Clinton campaign.

I'm honestly at a point where I don't really understand how anyone rational is still capable of supporting Hillary's candidacy. She's a total disaster as a candidate and her nomination would be horrific for Democratic chances in November.

14. Well, to be fair, Obama DID pull out Clinton's chair for her in that debate.

The cad!

9. Everybody knows that nepotism is always a huge disadvantage.

And that it's always sexist to discuss it.

Oh yeah, and black folks get all the breaks.

10. Just watched a Countdown clip on msmbc.com with Howard Fineman about this.

It was excellent.

There is no excuse for Hillary not "rejecting and denouncing" what Ferraro said and asking her to not participate. What does she do instead? Sends her new campaign manager (is that the position?) to cry foul over Obama's response. SHAME ON YOU HILLARY.

12. well it is very revealing

[stillcool]

15. I was shocked when..

it first peppered the board. I've witnessed racism. But I've never read it in real time, in such a concentrated, caustic atmosphere. Takes my breath away.

[apocalypsehow]

13. Exactly right - your post is spot-on. K & R.

:thumbsup:

[tekisui]

16. Nail on the head.

What will be defended tomorrow?

[walldude]

17. Just posted the same sentiment in another thread

all of a sudden being a black man in America is.. wait for it... An ADVANTAGE!

To see this kind of crap on DU of all places... I just keep hoping they are all trolls who will leave when the fight is over. Sad part is, I don't think so, I have been seeing race baiting posts from long time Du'ers as well.

I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
If you are wise you will listen to me

Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat?
Blaming the kids is a lion of shame
You know exactly who's to blame:

The mother and the father!

Oompa Loompa doompadee dah
If you're not spoiled then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do
