Looking at the exit poll numbers from Kentucky and other Appalachia states, and the language Clinton has been using while campaigning there, it seems pretty clear to me that Hillary Clinton has been using racism to promote her campaign. And please, don't tell me how full of it I am - look at the numbers and language yourself and then give me another alternative that still fits the facts.
Folks, Clinton was playing to racists. Sorry if this is uncomfortable - but it is the unfortunate truth.
And all of these threads reminding us that "Obama is going to need Clinton supporters" - seem more like open threats, to me, than any appeal for unity.
It would be more honest if the Clintonista just said, "Remember, you're going to need racist Democrats if Obama is going to win."
Really? Because, looking at the numbers, and remembering how 30-40% of Clinton supporters say they will NEVER support Obama, it seems to me the Clintonista is pushing a false meme - that racist democrats WILL support Obama.
I don't think they will. I don't think there is a single hardcore Clinton supporter in Appalachia that will support an African-American presidential candidate. The numbers demonstrate this. The comments and exit polls demonstrate this. And Clinton herself, through her own language and threats, demonstrates this.
So - I no longer feel an overarching need for further attempts at making peace with the Clintonista.
They have already made up their minds. They have already decided that racism trumps patriotism. They have already decided that bigotry and petty hatred are more important than the Constitution, equality, and justice.
Everyone seems pretty shocked by Clinton's call for the assassination of Obama. But I am not - and I really wish I could be.
What else does Hillary Clinton have left, though? She's appealed to the racists, and they obviously lack the numbers she needed to put her campaign over the top. So what is left, but to call out for political assassination?
Let me make a little prediction here: If ANYTHING happens to Obama, if he is assassinated - it will be the final nail in the coffin of this great experiment we call America. We'll come as close to civil war as we've been since the last one, if we don't fall right over the edge into it.
Obama wants to heal this nation, while Clinton merely wants to rule it. If her comment about RFK doesn't finally demonstrate this to even the most hardcore of the Clintonista, my guess is there is no way to reach these people.
Unless Clinton supporters move en masse to repudiate Hillary Clinton for her crystal clear and quite blatant wish of death upon Obama, I say it is time to call them what they are: Hate-filled racists who's only hope of victory lies in the death of their opponent - who just happens to be the "wrong" color...
"There - I said it."
