If this charge came from a GOP politician, it would be dismissed as unsurprising. But the Democrats are supposed to be the party of tolerance and inclusion. Sad.

Wonder if they know about this latest attempt to make Obama unelectable.
If you say something often enough and loud enough it becomes the conventional wisdom. This constant talk about race hurts Obama. With WV and Kentucky coming up it doubly hurts and will keep the talk on race.
Didn't the party leaders say that they didn't care if Hillary stayed in as long as she didn't hurt the Dems chances in the fall. Guess what Super Delegates. she's hurting the party.

are scared about pissing off her supporters if they come out en masse before the voting stops. That's the key problem. People like Ellen Malcolm in today's Washington Post are making the case that she should be able to stay in until the votes are counted and that they would be royally pissed if the "boys" pushed her out before then -- that's the context that the supers are living in right now.

don't they see the point is that she's trying to damage obama not that she's campaigning??
victimology is so sickening, at this point.

but with people like Malcolm writing what she's writing, they have a problem. It's not like Emily's List is a small matter.
Look, I want them to come out and decide as well, I support Obama, but I understand the predicament people like Malcolm are putting them in.

regarding a Black in White America documentary she was a principle leader of:
She told Marc Gunther of the Detroit Free Press that it was "unbelievable...the most exciting project that I've been involved in, in my years in broadcasting."
Unfortunately, some critics were not as enthusiastic about the final product. The documentary series was canceled, but Simpson was happy to know that at least one person learned that racism still existed, even in the lives of successful black men and women. "He [Arledge] was astounded to find that we still confront that kind of thing," Simpson told Gunther, "that the badge of color is always there, no matter how high you go, no matter how much you accomplish. There is always someone who will remind you that you're not quite the same as everybody else." o from Answers.com
