Hillary could have quelled racism in presidential nomination campaign, but she didn’t

By Letters
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Nothing has been more disappointing in Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign for the Presidency than the way in which she’s chosen to conduct herself during its final weeks.  Rather than acquiescing in the prejudice and fear that appear to be motivating some voters, she could have done herself, her party and her country a great service by clearly urging them to put aside the issue of race and focus on what’s truly important–the ideas and qualifications of each candidate.  Her failure to do so is a clear indication she’s unfit to be President, either now or in 2012.  Shame on her.

Obamessiah hasnt spoke out against racially motivated voting for him either, so why should Billary?

The funny thing is, the racists you refer too are democrats.

I’m really tired of this notion that Hillary has tried to use prejudice in the DEmocratic race.

This will be nothing compared to the lead up to November. Eventually, not falling directly in line with Obama will mkae you a sheet wearing clan member.

there is no more racism is America. Obamamessiah GAVE A SPEECH on race! Problem solved! How dare you suggest that the power of Obamamessiah’s personality and the weight of his words are insufficient to solve any and every problem! terrorism? Drugs? High gas prices? One word from Obamamessiah and we shall be healed! Look how he got all his policies passed by the Senate, he just gave speeches and every Senator immediately saw the light and voted his way!

If Obama was running as an African-American, a vote against him might be considered racist. Since he is running as a Democrat, a vote against him is only a common sense exercise of your franchise.
