Reply #110: why does the racist card get played? [View All]

There was no such accusation of Hillary supporters, and there typically is not, but I am constantly seeing the complaint "some Obot said Hillary supporters are racists". And then when I check out the offending post the accusation was made of "Hillary supporters WHO WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA". There's a huge difference, isn't there?

I started this primary as an Edwards supporter. And as an Edwards supporter I bought some buttons and a tote bag and rented a van and drove to Wichita for the Democratic Convention to give the 25 buttons away. Edwards dropped out, but even when he was still in contention I never had the attitude that I wouldn't vote for Obama or Dodd or Biden or Richardson if they won the nomination.

However, because of the fact that I entered the race as ABC and said I probably would not support her if she won, it was commonly said that people like me are misogynists, which I find quite outrageous and offensive considering that I donated to Tammy Baldwin and worked pretty hard in two elections for Nancy Boyda.

So I can see that the accusation that Obama-haters are racist can be just as ridiculous as the similar claim that Hillary-haters are misogynists, but it is not the same as the claim that Hillary supporters are racists, only the claim that some of them are.
