She is part of the
[Read the article: Obama and the white working class]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Vast right wing conspiracy" to distroy Obama. He could have really jumped on the sniper lie but he didn't. He could bring up the lie about how invovled she was with the peace process in Ireland but he didn't. He could have jumped all on her lack of judgement with Penn but he didn't. But anything the right wingers say about him she is the first to provide negative fodder against him.
This is not about sexism, its not wanting to vote for a person who has no integrity.

Wrong Sigmund
[Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Most of the Obama supporters gave reasons other then sexism for not voting for Hillary. For instance they mentioned her support for McCain,lies about Bosnia,NAFTA and now her chief stategist negoitiates for CAFTA.
I think Salon is in financial straits. The more people they can keep reading the Site they believe more will look at their advertsing and might subscribe. So they are writting these stupid comments to keep the fire going. They know Hillary's camp is on life support.
She will get killed against the GOP.
How many times do you think the Repugs are going to play the Bosnia lies. Now she may have forgot what day she visited and maybe some of the circumstances of the visit but the only people that believe that she forgot stopping and talking to a young girl who gave her poem are people that hate Obama and not for his policies.
The only people who will belive that Hillary did not know that Mark Penn the only lobbiest allowed to keep his job on her executive committe was not making deals with the Columbians are ardent Monica wannabees.
She had to borrow from her funds to fund her campaign. She and Bill gave money to their own library and wrote it off on their taxes. They made 109 million dollars and Obama is the elitist? LOL! Obama supporters don't need to get mad just keep giving. Once, he gets in the general election he will need it to fight off the negative "politics of personal destruction" campaign that Hillary will continue with her running mate John McCain and Salon.

Rosen No,No, No,
[Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Everybody knows that Hillary and Obama's policies are similar and that is why we know it is a lie when she and her supports say he has no substance.
It is amazing when the Hillary supporters thought she was a lock to get in they were not upset about the Obama supporters. In fact they thought the only support he was going to get was from a few black voters. Then when he won Iowa they started calling him to white. Remember he wasn't black enough. One Hiillary supporter said that Bill Clinton was blacker then Obama because he dated more black women. If that is not a sexist and nasty comment I don't know what is. But we heard no cries of sexism from Hillary supporters.
Then when he won S.C he became the black candidate again. Then after he won 11 states in a row in a debate Hillary called for Obama to "reject and denounce" Minister Farrahkhan to show he was not anti-semitic. Obama "rejected and denounced" his comments. Then in Texas a Latina said that Hispanics would not vote for Obama because he was black but Hillary did not reject or denounce her commments. How many blacks and whites do you think started to see the real Hillary and Bill?
People are coming out and fighting for Obama because they don't want these types of people back in office. People who will say and do anything to win. We are saying NO,No,No

[Read more letters about this article: Here]'I'll give you one piece of evidence that I think is really telling, though: I think most people who do studies, write newspaper articles, etc., no longer entertain the idea that blacks are inherently mentally different or inferior to whites."
I THINK is not evidence. You still gave your opinion. In fact my opinion is that most of the studies,writtings, newspaper articles that you read are probably by whites. Understand the greatest bias in the media is not conservative,or liberal it is racial. From Tim Russert,Matt Lauer, Andrea Mitchell,Hannity and Combs,Kati Couric,Keith Oberlman, Joe Scarbourgh,Matthews, Rush,Savage,O'rieliy,Mark Rich, Joe Conasen,Joan Walsh,Randie Rhodes,Glenn Greewald,Brian Williams,Meredith Vieira,etc. Most of what we read, hear and see is "colored," by the worldview and subjectivity of rich white males and females.
If you just go by the MSM you wouldn't know that black and brown people even had thoughts on subjects like education, war,health care,economic or politics. This is why I don't think many whites can believe a black man is competent enough to address any of the issues we now face. They have never seen it before. It amazes them that he is so "articulate." This is why I undertand why "many" whites instantly beleive he has to be plagerizing, he has to have had some help. He has to have come from a elite class of blacks because the common black person could never understand or think the way he does.
He is an exeception and not the rule. There has to be something other then he is a better candidate then this white woman other then he is a better candidate.
So, I understand why the talk and commentary on Salon is more about sexism then it is about race. These elitist writers know that are basically echo chambers others in the media who think like them.
