Operation "Buckwheat"
Clinton Surrogates Continue "Race-Baiting"
Candidate of change my *ss. Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell continues the Clinton surrogate whisper campaign that whites won't vote for Obama. It's shameless really, and when you're talking about folks at this level, coordinated as well. I'm sure that the Clinton team even has a project name...operation "Buckwheat." (Hoping perhaps to paint Obama as a minstrel show characticture ala Amos and Andy)...
First we have the candidate herself commenting on her loss on Louisiana.
"These are caucus states by and large, or in the case of Louisiana, you know, a very strong and very proud African-American electorate, which I totally respect and understand." (I'm not so sure you do understand Hillary).
My question to Ed is what makes Pennsylvanians different than folks in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, North Dakota and other states that have voted overwhelmingly for Obama? Did all the racists from the Deep South move to Pennsylvania? Could you be more insulting to the residents of the state you represent?!
The best part is though after being so dismissive of the states she hasn't carried, and after making such statements like the one above, her next breath talks about who there will be a unified party in the fall. Don't be so sure.
