  Racism and Bigotry the Scapegoat of Liberals

  Arlen Specter was openly -- in public, into a microphone -- crossing his fingers, and hoping for racism.

  Ms. Traister, are we then to believe all Obama voters are misogynists for not voting Hillary? Are black voters for Obama racist against McCain? It is a fact that most polls in the primary elections were wrong. What is to say the polls are right now? I find it interesting that you would mention racism when nothing about race was mentioned by Mr. Specter. How can any honest thinking american look at this man being so close to the highest office in our country and then make charges of racism? The mere fact Mr. Obama is in this position shows racism is little more than a modern day witch hunt. The cavalier way you write this into your article could also be considered a modern day "black listing" of Mr. Specter. If Mr. Obama is to lose, which by the way would be the third Democratic loss in a row, then maybe the party needs to look at their proposed policy. Racism would be a nice scapegoat along with the stolen and swift boater elections. The Democrat party would be better served by looking at their proposed policies that lose elections instead of inding the nearest scapegoat. Then again, that would mean accepting personal responsibility.
