The Obama supporters have been allowed by several news media to call Senator Clinton and Senator Mccain, their spouses, their families and their supporters some very sickenng, vile and nasty names. CNN is up there almost with the Daily Kos and the Huffington Post printing these sickening blogs. Last night on CNN was the last straw when
on AC360 they were reporting that President Bush played the “Nazi card” on Senator Obama and I will never watch CNN again.

This is going to be one of the harshest elections ever. Not because of anything the candidates do, but thanks to the outside influences. Race will play a role no matter how much Obama downplays or excludes it. It will be a factor in some voters not voting for him, it will also be the factor that cause a lot of people to vote for him.

For sure the far left and some media types will inject race in to the effect of non-support for Obama is equal to racism. They will try to shame voters. Again, this will come from outsiders and not Obama himself. The same people are already deriding McCain for his age.

This is going to get very ugly.

Go ask the Democrats. They’re the ones who for the last 30 years insisted that society be segmented into distinct victim groups. If they’re shocked those groups are suddenly going after each other during an election year, it’s no one’s fault but their own.

J. M. Hardin:

West Virginia voters for Clinton were racist and the voters for Obama were sexist. My puzzlement is how a single reptile wrangling gene pool can hold such diverse opinion.

Some of the voters in West Virginia specifically stated that they could not bring themselves to vote for Senator Obama because of his color. Just as I am certain many African-Americans did vote for him for the same reason.

Here is the problem. Senator Clinton has very pointedly stated that she has greater appeal to working class whites than Senator Obama, not “working class voters” but “working class white voters”. While this may be true, her characterization lends itself to the “racism” charge.

To RHarnack:
The AP said that before Senator Clinton did. You and everybody are so intent on hollering “racism” that you can’t state all the facts and I am not an “old, uneducated, white woman” nor am I a “typical white woman”as the media likes to call Senator Clinton’s supporters.

We are so far from Dr. King’s Dream of judging a a person by the content of their character. Voting for Hillary because she is a woman and Obama because he is black or assuming any credit to either of them for their sex or color is not helping to restore our republic. They both are for nuclear bombs “as an option”, war to secure oil, a lost cause for-profit healthcare system, neither have shown real leadership in standing up for anything. By the
way it’s well known that the Bush family are Nazi sympathizers, George’s grandfather ran a company which was dismantled as punishment for directly funding Hitler.
