Can Democrats learn to talk about race?
Hillary Clinton's "hardworking Americans" comment seemed to exclude blacks. Donna Brazile's "new" Democratic vision marginalized working-class whites and Latinos. How does the party unite?
Joan Walsh [2008-05-09]

  • How to lobby for a former candidate, or the latest observation from Joan Walsh

    So, Clinton says something offensive, and you don't write about her fuck-up, instead, you choose this moment to discuss DEMOCRATS and race.

    Joan, you must agree that Obama can talk about race. No? His "race" speech was more forthright and honest than any discussion about race I've ever seen from a politician.

    Can Clinton talk about race? I'm not so sure. If she can, she must be choosing not to. Can you talk about race? I'm not so sure.

    So phony.
