There may be intimidation and threats but according to Politico the Black Super Delegates are holding strong.
I think that threats may only make them stronger in their resolve.
Threats are not a new style of politics. Threats are 1960's Chicago.
Joshephine Hearn's article at Politico
African-American superdelegates said Thursday that they’ll stand up against threats, intimidation and "Uncle Tom" smears rather than switch their support from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to Sen. Barack Obama.
"African-American superdelegates are being targeted, harassed and threatened," said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II (D-Mo.), a superdelegate who has supported Clinton since August. Cleaver said black superdelegates are receiving "nasty letters, phone calls, threats they’ll get an opponent, being called an Uncle Tom.
"This is the politics of the 1950s," he complained. "A lot of members are experiencing a lot of ugly stuff. They’re not going to talk about it, but it’s happening."
Do the wise members of the Daily Obama think these super delegates are lying? Do you think your candidate is beyond using the politics of intimidation?
Cleaver questioned why white superdelegates such as Massachusetts Sens. Edward M. Kennedy and John F. Kerry weren’t being targeted to support Clinton after she carried their state.
"If white people were being harassed and threatened because they were not supporting a white candidate, we’d see headlines," he said.
Of course I'll hear that Obama didn't order this. That is BS. It is his campaign. He defines his campaign. The buck stops with him.
He preaches about a new style of politics but is doing everything in his power to win using the worst sort of disgusting nasty republican style crap.
Hope, my ass.
Late addition. A USA Today article on the same subject, but not about the intimidation.
