"if you try to say, 'Well, where's the evidence of racism in the Clinton campaign?' you're accused of being a naïve shill for the Clintons."
My response is "if you try to provide Clinton supporters with evidence of [take your pick - the list is long], they dismiss it out of hand as propaganda from "Kool-Aid" drinking, delusional members of the Obama cult." And, I'd point out that that is much more insulting than being called a "naive shill" - naive implies, well, naive. Describing someone as a delusional, cult member implies that they are dangerous. Further, calling someone a "naive shill" says you are on the other side, calling someone delusional, etc. says that you are paranoid.
Of course, there is no overt racism coming from the Clinton camp - they are not stupid. I can, however, point to evidence:
1. How about the sub-text of what Bill said about the results of the S.C. primary. How is shrugging off the significance of Obama's win by pointing out that Jesse Jackson won S.C. (which, by the way, in political time is ancient history) not racist? Do you only see racism if it jumps up and bites you on the nose (i.e., when someone uses the "n")word? If you do not see the racism in his remarks, either you don't want to or you just don't get it.
2. As far as I know, the Clinton camp has not yet denied any involvement in the Obama "photo flap" (if they have I will withdraw this evidence with apologies). Moreover, they have stubbornly refused to acknowledge the sub-text of circulating this particular photo of Obama (and that has nothing to do with their involvement or non-involvement). Their position is that by taking offense to the photo's publication, the Obama camp are the ones who are implying that there's something shameful about being Muslim. They are wrong . The one and only purpose of circulating the photo was to feed the rumors that Obama is Muslim, and because he is Muslim people should neither trust nor vote for him. This is the subtext underlying circulation of this particular photo: Muslim = bad; Obama = Muslim; therefore, Obama = bad; therefore vote for his opponent. If you can't see that as racism you either don't want to or don't get it.
