Obamites taking their talking points straight from the Right's talking heads
Anonymous -- what in the hell are you talking about?! As you said ..."If many Americans see Obama as the "black candidate" (different than just seeing him as "black") this will associate him with racial divides. In California it might be (like there was in Nevada) a stirring up of Latino verses Black voters, with the racial divisions boosting Clinton to win (as the default preferred race).
As a former Obama supporter and a Latina from S. Texas, trust me when I say this -- the fact that you believe in such generalizations as "the Latinos" can somehow be "stirred up" by the Clintons is not only ludicrous and inaccurate but it is patently false and lends credence to the reality that you do NOT know what in the hell you are talking about. In fact, it can be viewed by many as racist. Please hear this all of you Obama-ites that are looking high and lo for any reason whatsoever, real or imagined, to justify your vote for Obama at the expense of trashing (probably irreversibly) the Clintons, that's all it is -- a lame justification. I truly wonder how many of you are really even Democrats.
Fact: many Latinos have a fondness for the Clintons for way over a decade now, and if you knew anything about our culture and history -- which you apparently do NOT, you would know that this sense of loyalty and admiration was earned by the Clintons. It disgusts me to no end to see Democrats trashing our candidates for President, especially the Clintons. They are due respect. I would have expected this from the Republicans, but from fellow Democrats is just disgusting. Have you stopped to listen to yourselves? You are NOT being very good representations of Obama's big dream of UNITY, HOPE or CHANGE. Or, are you? He said on the right-wing Christian Broadcasting Network a few days ago that he knows for a fact that Hillary's supporters would undoubtedly support him if he won the nomination but NOT vice-versa. Such blatant naivete and hubris from Obama. And, I can see that same attitude being repeated with his supporters.
That supposed fairy tale of stirring up Brown vs. Black votes has been recently circulating from all of the Republican talking heads of late. It is about as ludicrous as the one about the Clintons being racists. I clearly recall on the night of the New Hampshire primary, when Hillary won, the *ssholes from MSNBC so perplexed that they just couldn't come up with the correct empirical data to support the sudden shift from Obama to Clinton. Almost immediately, I then heard Joe Scarborough -- the neo-con who took pleasure as being on the committee to Impeach Bill Clinton, and hates him to no end, as saying (and you can look up that transcript) -- "...shall I say it?... could it be... Racism?..." That crap took off from there and then the following week it was reaching high pitch volume by the other nimrods from CNN, Fox, etc. etc.
And, that is NOT why I am a "former" Obama supporter. I am a former Obama supporter who went from TX to Nevada since Jan. 1, with a caravan of fellow Democrats to volunteer for Obama on my own money. But, I got immediately turned off by the basic tone, the mean-spiritedness and vitriol displayed by the Obama campaign that was undeniable. What turned it around for me was the disgusting, disrespectful, insulting Spanish-language ad that Obama ran against Hillary. He NEVER apologized for it -- NEVER. And, I never heard anything significant from the Obama's beloved MSM about this ruthless attack. That is the TRUTH and that is the REAL REASON that so many Latinos turned against Obama. All of this b*llsh*t about disenfranchisement from Bill, etc. etc. is the real fairy tale. And, that is something that Dolores Huerta and the UFW, other union members, and other Latinos will NOT forget when Feb. 5 rolls around. You do NOT go into the Latino community and disrespect people and expect a vote in return. That ad was real. That was NOT like the "perception" nonsense that was running in S. Carolina either. Clinton never said the disgusting things in an ad against Obama. I'm sure that Obama's support has diminished with Latinos, and that Scarborough & Company will spin that, once again, as Bill's fault. But, that is NOT the reason. Another main reason is fluffy speeches backed by nothing substantive does not and will not work Entrusting the country to the "guy" that you wanna hang out with and who will leave the finer points like foreign affairs up to his minions is too, too reminiscent of W -- NO THANKS!!!

Obamites taking their talking points straight from the Right, cont'd...
I just wish the naive Obama supporters would wake up, get out of denial, and stop dreaming that someone is going to remake Camelot out of the United States. There is a lot of hard work to do, and the Democrats are teeter-tottering on the verge of losing the White House -- once again. Just remember this when you Obama people want to smear, trash-talk and go off the deep end as you have been doing about Bill Clinton -- why don't you replace your illogical, nonsensical talk about racism, brown v. black, etc. etc. with some common sense. and logic. Do your OWN RESEARCH, PEOPLE!!! Talk with people who have or are actually out in the trenches working the campaigns for BOTH CAMPS -- Obama and Clinton instead of parroting everything you hear from the Right-wing, nimrod, pundits.
Enough already with repeating verbatim the disgusting talking point of such Republicans as Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanan, Chris Matthews, Bill Bennett, Amy Holmes, and all of the other pundits that are daily framing the debate, spoon-feeding this crapola dribble by dribble to you naive Obama-ites, 24/7. You know, they sure must be having a great laugh on you all today especially if you are Democrats. Since when did Democrats so gladly and willingly take their talking points straight from the Republican media pundits? Obviously, today. Everything that I have read here today from the Obama supporters has been reported and repeated, ad nauseum for weeks now from the Right. I would have expected this sort of sh*t from the Republicans, but now from the Democrats too -- it is just too hard to stomach.
