Team-Hillary's ugly race-based response to the Richardson endorsement.
They say the Richardson endorsement doesn't mean much because Texas is over and so he can't help with the Hispanic vote there. Oh geez. So Richardson can only help with Hispanics?? No whites support him in his state of NM despite his huge approval ratings? No whites (or blacks, or Asians, or Native Americans, ....) anywhere else admire him? With all that vast experience, much from his Clinton admin. positions, he is only of value in courting Hispanics??

More UGLY CRAPOLA from Team-Hillary and one more reason to say NO to Hillary in this primary!!

1. It was very clear they didn't value him at all, except for the demographics
he might have brought. I have never seen such ungracious, shabby treatment in politics. They really oughta be ashamed, but they're shameless.

24. Don't suppose there's a link to show the Clinton campaign actually said this?
Didn't think so. Besides, Clinton won the latino vote even when Richardson was in the race - they don't like him.

4. Yep, that's what I took from Penn's comment: "What good is Richardson, if there aren't any Latinos..
"... to which to pander?"

Rather than respecting Richardson as a Democratic leader, Penn speaks on behalf of the Clinton campaign and effectively says Richardson is only good for attracting Latino voters.

Noice!

8. I've heard Hillary supporters claim Richardson's endorsement
was all about race. Not on here mind you, but on another board. It's stuff like that which makes you wonder why people would say that.

9. The Clintons will step on anyone to get ahead

They've insulted Obama's voters (dumb! I guess they knew they wouldn't make it
to the general), they stepped on his endorsers (so much for SD switches) and they've
pounced on his donors. And they think they'll be good at uniting the country and
regaining our country's good reputation.?

20. I think it's a case of the
crying baby getting the milk. These people have to have led very sheltered lives. Reminds me of the little town that I grew up in where 25 years later the same person is sitting on the same bar stool, so afraid of change. Their illusions of grandeur and their self-importance are safe and secure as long as they are not forced to travel outside of their comfort zone. I guess it must feel good to have that false sense of security, but they sure miss out on life.

18. Yep....
...Gov Richardson is now relegated by the Clinton campaign to some pile of "brown people who really do not count anymore." She and Bill would have used him as a Hispanic if he had endorsed her...but now to them, he is a brown Judas who does not matter ~~ as I see their despicable treatment of him.

The ingrained racism and bigotry of the Clintons which was revealed during her now failed run for the Dem nomination has truly been appalling. Especially to see Bill Clinton, someone I greatly admired, revealing himself as a closet racist is a very sad thing to see.

JMHO

19. Who's "they" and what's the direct quote?
And some votes ARE "race-based," and I don't think that's necessarily "ugly."

32. We're all just unimportant minorities.
Richardson's not important, he's just a Hispanic. They don't need Hispanics any more. Smearing Black churches isn't important, because those are just black people. They can win without black people. I'm not important, because I'm just a "liberal elitist", and they can win without liberal elitists. I guess she's just running to be the president of all the people who are useful to her at the time.
