Hillary's reckless exploitation of racial division could split the Democratic Party over race -- a tragic legacy for the Clintons.
  • The Inept Idiocy of Trying to Blame Everything on Hillary

    Just the latest example:

    All the pundits had been talking about Hillary's support from white working class voters for months, even more so since Reverend Wright's "wrongs."

    But now that Hillary also speaks to it in the press, suddenly she's "playing the race" card again? Suddenly what she said is somehow not "old news" but brazen, "how dare she say anything again?"

    Please, can we have a remnant, a semblance, of fairness and/or intelligence?

    Even those who falsely claim to be embracing a more enlightened view are most willingly allowing themselves to be half-swallowed in some of the most ignorant darkness imaginable.

    She was just saying what everyone else was talking about.

    This is not personal Joe - I am speaking of many in the media especially, generally - the coverage of this campaign has been so blindly biased, and some of the most inane analysis imaginable - especially those which have accused of "playing the race card."

    She can't talk about anything, without being accused of everything.

    The Clintons are some of the best Democrats we have, and they know, as all Democratic political leadership always knows better than to play the race card.

    The only mistake they made was thinking that this was a nomination contest, and that it was permissible to contest and contrast experience and qualifications to be President at this time. Apparently, no real contest is allowed, but each contestant get special treatment, either babied or demonized -in their own special way. Isn't that special?
