Subject: being equated with Jesse Jackson
bart, you ask "why is being equated with jesse jackson a horrible, terrible racial thing to say?"
first off, let me just say that i am a fan of
the clintons...but when bill said that, i found it
to be viscerally offensive, and i'm not one who
espouses political correctness.
it took me a while to figure out why, but i think
the statement, in a sense, implies that blacks
are shallow and superficial and only voted for
obama for one reason only, cuz he's black...like jesse.
But does that make sense?
Is it racist to say firemen tend to vote for
other firemen?
Is it racist to say women tend to vote for other
women?
Is it racist to say Hispanics tend to vote for
other Hispanics?
Is it racist to say tequila drinkers tend to
vote for other tequila drinkers?
Of course not, so how does race play into it?
It doesn't, but there are those who profit
from making Hillary out to be a racist.
Tell me - who profits most if Hillary is labled
a racist?
You can't deny that he inspires people across all political backgrounds, especially the youth.
I can't be SURE that's wrong, but I've seen no
evidence that it's true.
Do you really think crusty old Republicans are
going to vote for (their words)
"the Black newbie peacenik named Hussein who's
to the left of Hillary?"
i like hillary, and will vote for her if she becomes
the nominee, but obama has a much better
shot of beating mccain and of unifying the country
towards bringing about a much longer
progressive renaissance. with a hillary
presidency, i'm afraid it will mortally stifle the rising
progressive tide and we'll say a republican renaissance
greater than we saw all throughout
the nineties.
hillary is tainted goods...
Do you understand that if Obama beats McCain in
the Fall, he will be hated
by the media and the right-wing sons of bitches
that he beat?
Should we then throw him to the dogs because
he's "tainted?"
Why can't people understand that
winning elections means the
GOP
and the whore media hates you?
i don't know why people hater her so much,
Could it be because she's a winner?
...especially for trying to bring something as
noble as universal healthcare to the table.
but they do...and she gave up!
She gave up?
That's why she ran for the senate?
That's why she's running today?
Because she gave up?
and now she gets huge donations from big pharma...
Yes, she's trying a different way to get universal health care.
so go figure.
I'm trying, so help me Koresh.
as this stage...i'm ready to renounce my citizenship and move to norway.
Meanwhile, Hillary chose to stay and fight,
only to have people insult her
and call her a quitter who's on the take from
the big pharm bastards.
Yet she keeps fighting, while the nation and the
Dems call her a racist whore.
Sometimes I wonder why she keeps trying.
my gut feeling is that obama is our only hope
for redemption.
