Maybe my last analogy about Pastorgate was a bit off, but
I still stand by its assertion: It is a major hypocrisy for Clinton's campaign to be pushing Wright to superdelegates while at the same time stepping away from the responsibility for the overt racism in the message by saying "it's what the Republicans will attack with and why he's unelectable."

Clinton doesn't want to really play the game of "what the Republicans will attack with", she just knows she can get away with it because Obama is too honest to respond in kind.

If she wants to continue to drag down somebody she can never catch in delegates with this BS, she deserves to start having some of it thrown back at her. Where shall we begin... Foster, Whitewater, Lewinsky, Cattle futures, Bosnian snipers - all of those would have been major Republican talking points if she had won the nomination. She's got at least a 12-piece set of political baggage while at the same yelling about Obama's duffel bag (a duffel bag with a thick skin which defends itself well).

Clinton and her supporters continue throwing stones while refusing to admit their glass house isn't bullet-proof.

1. No, you're wrong...this analogy is WAY off...
...I am so tired of the race baiting from Obama and his supporters. Race is a sensitive issue in this country, and BO has worked it to appeal to the fears of many...race relations will take a while to recover after this election, and BO is to blame. Shame on him.

2. Puh-lease
:eyes:

It's funny, I don't remember Obama talking about race at all until lately. Perhaps you could provide some links as to how he ran as a black candidate. I doubt it.

Obama has not exploited race to a fraction of a percentage the way Clinton and her supporters have exploited gender and misogyny.

3. Clinton's campaign isn't pushing Wright.
He's on TV telling us Obama is a politician and talks like a politician. How is that Hillary's fault?

9. My apologies, I quick read what you wrote
and thought you were talking about Wright in the media not SD's. Don't know if the info in the article you posted is true, never heard of your source.

6. she paid him money to do so
or Clinton's penis drove him mad and made him do so, or she used death rays from Mars to make us think he is saying that when he is really saying Clinton is evil. I hope this isn't needed :sarcasm:
