Hillary's reckless exploitation of racial division could split the Democratic Party over race -- a tragic legacy for the Clintons.
  • AKA Smith

    1: Other people see it differently, particularly considering those comments by Bill, Ferraro and recently, Hillary Clinton.

    2: Or they simply criticised her on her choice of words.

    3: Actually, Edwards was disadvantaged by having none of the party machinery behind him and very limited press coverage. When he came second in the first race of the season - Hillary was still the one to beat.

    4: And Hillary's campaign allegedly released a photo of Obama in traditional Kenyan dress.

    5: Go back and read Texas Girl's comment on this thread. Tell me again how particularly vicious and bigotted the Obama campaign has been.

    6: Bad punning is a valid form of expression. Besides that, Hillary hasn't been particularly roughly treated in this cycle, most of the damage done was done by her to herself.

    7: Agreed but...

    8: You wonder why Obama supporters might just call you racist for that statement? When has being black ever helped an American presidential candidate? Are you seriously going to continue to pretend that all Obama has going for him is his race?

    9: You mean the horrible injustice where America's people vote for the person they prefer, and argue passionately in favour of that candidate online? Terrible thing this Democracy innit?
