Viva Hillary Clinton! Although she won Puerto Rico easily, Clinton seemed to be campaigning in an alternate reality, as hopes for the nomination slipped away.

    My single post that was deleted was in response to some typical "unifying" Obama troll trashing all white women as "dried up bitter old hags".

    I may have casually implied something about the astronomical rate of HIV in black women as well the severely obese black women who walk around in spandex. ;-)

    Again, that double standard. For six months the Nobamateur's painted the Clintons as the Ma and Pa Kettle of the kkk and screamed profanely about every other posters "RACISM" and told them to have sex with sheep and so forth.

    But I guess that's just status quo class in the Nobama camp : profanity, vulgarity and hypocrisy are their trademarks.

    Here's the fallacy of your argument: Obama is supported by estimates of 80% to 92% of blacks, many of whom openly admit that they're voting for him based on shared race and shared race alone. That sounds like a "voting bloc" to me.

    I can also say that probably many people voted for Hillary because of her gender and her race. No denying that.

    As for Hispanics, they represent about 22% of Americans while blacks represent only about 12% of Americans. That extra 10% translates to about 30 million more people of Hispanic origins than of African origins.

    As for voting in a "bloc", I believe you are deluding yourself by not watching Univision, reading El Diario or El Mundo on a regular basis. I do. Remember when hundreds of thousands of those folks poured into the streets on the same day at the same time in over twenty US cities last May to protest immigration policies? They sure didn't get their marching orders from CNN!

    All Hispanics may not vote in lock-step, but, so far, they're marching to Hillary's tune more than Barack's.

    Just my opinion...

  • Michelle and Farakhan sceamng about whitey on tape

    I told you the GOP would hold off until Clinton was declared dead. There was no rocket science there for anyone with a brain. I told you Obama would be finished in two weeks.

    And I was right.

    The only good thing about Michelle Obama and her disgusting vulgar hate is that it makes it kinda hard for the Nobama parasites o blame his defeat on supposed WHITE racism.

    Talk about backing a loser. I don't think the GOP could have come up with a weaker Dem candidate than Obama if they had engineered him on a computer.

    Thanks for the response, and I understand your point about bias and perception.

    But, you didn't answer any of my questions. What did these deleted posts say? Were they particularly racist as implied? How many negative Clinton posts are deleted?

    I'm honestly asking, and I just want to understand why some posts are or aren't deleted.

  • It' not opinon, it's fact.

    It's not your opinion, it's fact. The DNC should just retire what's left of their pathetic rat-infested ship and offer the hispanic community the Democratic label to rebuild from scratch and do it right without the loony fringe left to contend with.

    If they'd take it; which I wouldn't blame them if they didn't at this point.

    After this it's just past embarassing to even ever say you were a Democrat.

  • Mizmoon

    You are right. This is just like when my wife and I watch Eagles-Giants games. We both swear that the refs are favoring the opposing squad as she is for NY and I for PHI.

    It's just human nature.

    LT - I have heard of millions of such tapes, few seem to materialize. Almost like WMD. And if it was damaging you would have seen it last month or on October 31st. The timing of the release indicates to me that this is more smoke than fire.

    But this leads to a good point. If Clinton starts going outright Jesse Helms here, does Obama finally decide he has to punch back? Hillary has 1,001 scandals - real or imagined - to muck up, so it would be easy to finish her off. Will Obama go there?

  • The answer

    I'm honestly asking, and I just want to understand why some posts are or aren't deleted.

    The rodentesque Nobama trolls email each other and Salon and whine about posts and artiles,try to get Joan fired, etc

    Occasionally they're successful.

    They'll be able to censor all of normal America in the same way in the General naturally.

  • HP

    Go read the No Quarter post before judging.

    It has the answers to your questions of existence and timing of release.

    Nation of Islam is poison come November.

  • It's getting serious

    While she makes her usual bogus claims of victory, a more telling sign has emerged about the seriousness of her intent to win the nomination. Her personal "assistant" Huma has been linked to a New York politico. With the rumored romantic relationship between Hillary and Huma, this might be an attempt to put the rumor to rest lest it become a problem for Hillary in seeking the nomination. Such sacrifice.

  • This guy should be on television.

    Yeah, the to be First Lady screaming like vulgar rat about Whitey,with Louis Farakhan. no problem.

    And the reason they didn't play it up to now, Einstein, is they wanted to make sure the candidate who COULD beat McCain was out of the way first.

    But this leads to a good point. If Clinton starts going outright Jesse Helms here, does Obama finally decide he has to punch back? Hillary has 1,001 scandals - real or imagined - to muck up, so it would be easy to finish her off. Will Obama go there?

    Oh, just go die somewhere. Calling Obama a Black Jesse Helms is too kinda bout it. You race-baited for six months and all of America is sick to death with the black community's reverse racism. The only thing you accomplished is making white Democrats as sick of your b.s as white Republicans.

    Just sit there and talk about masturbating with monkeys like the rest of Obamas supporters.
