Chris Mathews on Hardball tonight had two guests to discuss why some Hillary supporters simply would never vote for Barack Obama.
One of those guests was Bonnie Eber, a host on NPR's To the Contrary. She said something that left me feeling like a fist suddenly came flying out of the screen and caught me square on the jaw.
Look at the past Democratic candidates who had success in winning the Presidency. Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
Look it, both Southern WHITE (her emphasis) men ... the country hasn’t changed that much in the last 12 years ... I think a lot of these [Democratic] voters are looking at the Democratic leadership and saying [about the current nominee, Barack Obama], ‘What were you thinking??!’"
It was clear (and shocking) to me that her point was, "A black man??? Our nominee for President????? How could you let this happen, Democratic Leadership?? What were you thinking!!!!????"
I am offended to the core!!!
