Timing her racist remarks [w/poll]

Just as the Obama campaign sets down the framework of their rebuttal to Clinton's phony resume Obama lays out Clinton's record, hitting Clinton at her flimsiest point [apart from ethics], Clinton surrogate Geraldine Ferraro fans the flames of racism by claiming that a black man is in the process of taking away a job from a white woman.  This comes after Clinton surrogate and PA governor, Ed Rendell, makes the outlandish claim that white people in his state are such racists that they won't vote for a black man.

Also today, Obama will win the majority of delegates and votes in yet another state, Mississippi.  But which of the stories, Clinton's phony resume, the MS primary, or Ferraro's racist digs, will get the most coverage?

I am sick and tired of people, even a few Obama supporters, maintaining the delusion that the Clintons aren't racists simply because they have amicable relationships with a number of AA officeholders.  The argument goes: Bill and his wife are not racists, though they are tolerating surrogates who make racist remarks, and ultimately the Clintons distance themselves from the racial slanders.  Bullshit.  They are racists.  If they allow surrogates to make racist remarks, they are racists.

Hell, sometimes they don't even use surrogates to make their racist remarks!  Like Mrs. Clinton 'taking Obama at his word' that he isn't a Muslim, Bill's arrogant, slanderous comments in S.Carolina about Jesse Jackson's primary win there [which is not only racist but is also STUPID, since it is refuted by John Edwards' 2004 primary victory over Al Sharpton].

Just imagine what a Clinton nomination/presidency would mean for the Democratic Party and the US in general:  the Party of JFK and FDR will become the party of George Wallace and Joe Lieberman.  All that 'talk' about human and civil rights over the years will be shuffled to the back of the bus, all those anti-war marchers, peace protesters, cordoned off in 'free-speech' zones at future Democratic Party gatherings.

The Clintons are on a mission: to destroy the Democratic Party.  To turn it into a mirror image of the GOP, only with Democratic Party hacks collecting the lion's share of K Street largesse.  They are bound and determined to prove Ralph Nader right--although he was dead wrong about Al Gore in 2000.

I'll be frank with you Kossacks: the odds are the racist, dishonest, divisive tactics will likely work.  Nancy Pelosi came down hard today on the Clinton tactics, and she has good reason.  Pelosi is Speaker in name only.  Just go to the website of HillPAC, Mrs. Clinton's 'leadership' PAC, to see that the Clintons have bought half of the Congressional caucus out from under Pelosi.  Why do you think there is no progress on stopping Iraq [hint: Clinton's AUMF vote]?  Why do you think impeachment is a no-go [hint: do we want to remind voters about Monica]?

But unless a lot more high-profile Democrats come out soon for Obama, changing the narrative of this campaign from its slanderous direction, the Clintons may very well prevail in the final round.  Politicians are not paragons of virtue; they are thin reeds that blow with the prevailing wind.

Right now the hot air is blowing furiously from the Clinton campaign over a hotbed of racial and religious fear and hatred.
