Comments on: Away From Obama’s Crowds, Racist Moments

Washington Post: Obama Campaigners Encounter Raw And Surprising Racism As They Push Democratic Frontrunner

Riptide213_ Nice post. On a differant note- does anyone think perhaps the Clintons have set the ball in motion for those who are making themselves known -more now than ever- to show the racist card towards Obama? I would not put it past them- it was them who said " We are hangin on just in case something happens" Someone should step up and put those Clintons in their right place- like jail.

A lot has been made in this election about the "age" divide between Obama and Clinton. I think this is code-speak for "race" divide.

The bad news is that there is still a lot of blatent (and not so blatent) racism in this country.

The good news is that among the younger generation, they seem to have put that garbage behind them. Perhaps those white, hardworking, undereducated, underemployed folks Hillary has been all too eager to exploit could learn a lesson or two from them!

Here come all the America is Racist stories from NYT and WPO and Time and Newsweek. Obama cant win the White vote so we all are racist - 90% of blacks vote in lock step for Obama - thats more racists - at least 40% of White DEMs are voting for Obamination. The self hating White Liberals need to push the RACIST theme to make us all feel bad about not voting for a Black President. Too bad he''s more LIBERAL than Kennedy and Schumer and Reid and Pelosi and Boxer and Durbin.

Barack Obama is more of an oasis of optimism and less of a mirage of same despair in the apathy desert that is American politics.

Like opinions every citizen has a single vote of equal worth.

Political candidate scrutiny is a good thing.

I challenge anybody to discover a thriving politician even in the United States to be free from any dubious link to something at sometime that would not offend or aggrieve someone somewhere.

Is Obama perfect no way. Can he learn more sure.

Can he realize enhanced understanding of all Americans concerns no doubt.

Perhaps for the first time in a long time ordinary voters feel drawn to a candidate like Obama because their one and only valued vote could actually make a noticeable compass heading direction change in national politics.

Voters believe that a better or positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary. Eureka.

Please exercise your right to debate and vote for who ever you want.

Respect the rights of others to vote and freely debate for their candidate.

Rejoice in Americas hard won freedoms to cast your vote with bona fide unfettered choice and to critically debate your choice for change openly.

Vile candidate or voter bashing with malice is a cowards folly on the low road to anarchy.

We don''t need Pennsylvania, Indiana or West Virginia. Bunch of hillbillies anyway who are simply out of touch with mainstream America. The Obama Shuffle will steamroll lil'' missy(Clinton)and grandpa(McCain)without these clowns. Like America really wants a woman handling two wars and an old man napping through critical intelligence briefings--NOT!!! Those hillbillies will know who their DADDY is real soon.
