  I don't like what I am reading

  As an Obama supported, generally speaking, I dunna like some of what I am reading; it is true that, to me, the article paints Obama supporters as race-obsessed lunatics.

  Saying the Clinton's brought race up is catagorically wrong. As I previously had said, JJackson Jr was out early saying the most ridiculous and overt of race baiting things (e.g. Hillary didn't cry at Katrina, which needs to be looked at 'in light of South Carolina' and it 45% black voting populace). Moreover, one quote suggested Clinton was scapegoating latinos and trying to pit them against each other. Now, WHY would HClinton want to scapegoat latinos, given that she is, according to the talking heads and / or stereotype, winning by a big margin among this Cali population. And even if she WAS, how would this help her win any votes from Obama. It doesn't make any sense and is clearly the byproduct of a warped mind.

  If I didn't know any better, I dare say parts of this could close in on a hatchet piece for Obama. Joan, why the fixation on race? While I know this is a topic much on your mind, does it not seem a tad overblown? It reminds me of the SC primary. I had ben napping and came to as the pundits sat discussing how they, the media, may have played up race in the election. The conversation ended with an admission of guilt.... amazingly follwed with a county by county breakdown of racial make-up.

  Disgusting. I am not against an acknowledgement of race... but truly disgusting.
