Racially charged feud over Senate race in California spills into Democratic convention

California’s racially charged all-Democrat Senate race has spilled onto the Democratic National Convention as the candidates continued to feud over President Obama’s endorsement of one over the other.

Attorney General Kamala Harris, the recipient of Mr. Obama’s blessing, said Monday that she thought Rep. Loretta Sanchez should apologize to the president for suggesting that race played a role in the endorsement. Ms. Harris is black and Ms. Sanchez Hispanic.

“I find it very troubling, and I think that that is not the voice or perspective of a leader,” Ms. Harris told Fox11 in Los Angeles.

“Especially in these times, where if you want to be a leader, you should understand it’s in the best interest of our country to bring people together, not divide them, and certainly not based on race,” Ms. Harris said. “I frankly think she should apologize to the president of the United States.”

He was actually called B-1 Bob.

After Carter cancelled the original B-1 Bomber, Dornan fought to get the B-1B built after Reagan was Elected.

An old Friend of the Family was one of the Engineers who helped design that Plane.

Kamala will easily Win the Senate Race, sorry.

Our little Orange County phony Latina doesn’t stand a chance unless every Republican Votes for her, and they won’t.

Don't know anything about Sanchez, but from everything I've read, Harris is awful. A VJ protégé.

Two non-white, race-hustling bigots are facing off for the same government job. As an outsider in this donnybrook, for me it’s still going to be pretty entertaining.

Poor little Loretta Brixey has her little panties in a wad. You should have claimed you were part black Loretta, and changed your name to Loretta Washington or something.

Boo hoo hoo.

I stand corrected. I need to learn my bombers. You are correct, he was B-1 Bob.

And royally screwed by Loretta Sanchez.

“The only reason Sanchez is where she is—cheating Bob Dorn aka *B52 Bob* out of his seat.”

I have no love for her, but the Bob knew the demographics was going to catch up with him. He might have hung on through another term or two without cheating, but that was it.

You are correct, except Dornan was known as “B-1 Bob”.

It may not work, as blacks and Hispanics don’t necessarily get along.

Agree. 'Black vs Hispanic' is more 'black vs white' than the dems want to admit. From wiki =>

________________________________________________________________________

In the 2010 United States Census, 50.5 million Americans (16.3% of the total population) listed themselves as ethnically Hispanic or Latino. Of those, 53.0% (26.7 million) self-identified as racially white. The remaining respondents listed their races as: some other race 36.7%, two or more races (multiracial) 6.0%, Black or African American 2.5%

-snip-

The respondents in the "some other race" category are reclassified as white by the Census Bureau in its official estimates of race. This means that more than 90% of all Hispanic or Latino Americans are counted as "white" in some statistics of the US government.

Hillary’s convention is falling apart.

Her coronation led to a walk out by the Berniebots, CA’s Democratic Senate candidates are infighting - pure chaos.

Clinton campaign isn’t running a tight ship in Philadephia for sure.

Why not? The Democrats inflamed racial tensions to corral them onto the plantation...

Definitely something to keep in mind when the government says this country is 70+% “white”; it is a lot less than that when Hispanics are excluded.

I like your strategy.

I hate that these IDIOTS think they are LEADERS. They are NOT OUR LEADERS in any case! They are “elected representatives,” such as it is (and that’s bad enough). But none of these little tyrants are “leaders,” unless they are leaders of the little committees they form within congress.

I never thought of that. We dont elect “leaders”. You’re right.

Wasn’t congressman originally a part time job?

California has turned into a one party banana republic. I guess the only question at this point is, are they african bananas or south american bananas? ;-)
