"Anyone who doesn't like Obama or comments negatively on The Snub, must be implied to be a racist?"
you mean kinda like how anyone with negative opinions of Hillary is immediately a misogynist of the deepest Chris Matthews variety?
look, I'm actually not picking on you...just using that statement to highlight a broader point - both side's supporters are so busy flinging mud and then screaming that their pristeen white shirts are being sullied that it's reaching the level of farce.
Hillary side - the media wants Obama to win! Really?! You expect people to swallow that codswallop?! You mean Clinton...of THE Clintons...the most popular Presidency in the last 40 years (arguably more popular than Reagan) are getting an unfair shake? Honestly? You really believe this? You don't think there's an inherent advantage there for her? Her being aligned with the Hugely popular Bill Clinton? Are you insane? You can only play the victim of the Right Wing Hate Machine for so long...obviously people are voting for her...think maybe the boogeymen of the 90s don't scare quite so much anymore?
Obama Side - Our guy is unassailable! Do not besmirch the good name of Obama! Look, Obama engages in politicking...he'd be a fool not to. I'm sure he knew about the ads in Florida, but he has plausible deniability...to be fair though you don't hear him dismissing Florida by saying "well it's clear Hillary's the choice for old people" (like Bill did in SC). Obama has his hands dirty...anyone who gets to his level is at least a little dingy...get over it.
that being said, I give my non-existent support to Obama. I don't like Hillary (and no, not because she has a uterus).It's largely informed by her demands for Kerry to apologise for his asinine "get (us) sent to Iraq" joke. She lined up right behind the divisive right wing assholes, on the eve of the mid-term elections...knowing full well that the Republicans were looking to use this as a wedge non-issue to steal another election. Instead of defending her Party, she showed her true, colours...it was pretty sickening, and a pretty good indicator of her loyalties (herself).
And I know there are probably numerous examples of Obama doing something untoward (like not shaking a hand apparently), I just haven't seen or heard of anything that crystallized his character flaws as succintly as that moment did for Hillary.
