Perhaps its just me. Perhaps I'm too idealistic, but I truly don't think so.
I play politics by the 'old school' ways, I don't wear rose-colored glasses and can take punches as well as give them..but this is just too much.
While perusing Hillary Clinton's main on-line blog (Hillary is 44) and knowing from past visits that I can expect some pretty brutal commentary, I come across this comment from basil9:
She is such a brillo-head hypocrite on those talk shows biting her tongue to keep herself from actually coming out and screaming her devotion, "I Woveeeeeeeeee Bwackie!"
emphasis mine.
This comment was made in reference to a black, female commentator.
I would ask that anyone who is kind enough to read my diary to once again read that post, absorb its anger and the vileness of its message.
There was not ONE post that said 'Stop it'..not one post that said 'How dare you'...only a weak message from one reader regarding being careful because it might reflect on Hlllary.
There is something wrong with a campaign and/or its supporters, that can absorb that message without an outcry, without even a whimper.
I truly wish for better for this country.
