Like a mold or soap scum at the bottom of Hillary's Kitchen sink lay Racism. I suppose, it is no accident at all that Geraldine Ferraro has decided to rip the racist wound wide open... on the night that Mississippi votes... nah, they don't try to diminish every other victory with any possible method feesible right? I mean, what's next? Pennsylvania, a state Ed Rendell claims isn't ready to Vote for a Black Man... so how do you piss on Mississippi's results? Make the Race about race...

Hillary's Defense: They Called me a Monster, these darn surrogates, oh gosh darn... what's one to do, wink wink

Geraldine's response: "They better lay off me" (as reported on ABC's world news tonight)

When you lose because you have an inferior strategy, campaign, message, tally and candidate, the best thing to do is completely malign the results by making it a racial thing, and that's exactly what Geraldine has done.

And she's warned the Obama Camp: Back Off

But it isn't that easy. She's being overtly racist and it's part of a strategy to again make him the black candidate. And as ABC put it at the end of Jake Tapper's report, in Pennsylvania, it may not be damaging. This infact may be the only way to protect their lead in Pennsylvania.

How sad.

Hillary's Pathetic Excusing Remarks

In a relatively mild response, Clinton continued, "And both of us have had supporters and staff members who've gone over the line and we have to reign them in and try to keep this on the issues. There are big differences between us on the issues — let's stay focused on that."

Quoting Poltico

But it seems like almost a dare to Obama to re-open the issue, a willingness to drag Obama into an argument over race.

A word to the wise: Leave the idiots to shoot holes in their own ships. Enough was said by the Obama campaign to dispell the charge.

So know this, it's no accident, and like the rest of the Kitchen sink, it will do some damage. Lets see what Obama does about this though... I trust him more than me or you to handle this in the best way.. that's why I voted for him last week.

My hope is he says this:

She's not racist, however, Stupidity is Color Blind. As an African American, I almost chose not to run because I knew the danger involved with such a candidady, to myself and to my family. But as with everything, I trust the American people to seek something better, to see beyond race, and to elect me to be the President of the United States of America

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson: Please control yourselves

Obama Supporters: Donate more tonight

Clinton Supporters: Shame on Your Campaign
