Rendell's subtle rascism

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Gov. Ed Rendell, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton's most visible supporters, said some white Pennsylvanians are likely to vote against her rival Barack Obama because he is black.

[melstew]

This is truly outrageous. A longtime Clinton loyalist, in a key remaining primary state, floats the idea that Obama is perhaps unelectible due to his race. Of course he himself would not hold it against Obama, but.... Then the MSM runs the story, without criticizing the tactic, and the damage is done. I can not believe this transparent racial gambit is not being challenged by the liberal establishment. Hypocrisy that knows no bounds.

[RightWhale]

They have been using this tactic all along. They are in fact racist and that doesn’t mean they like NASCAR.

Spendell is a bloated communist. The democrap stooges in my state would vote for anyone as long as they were an America hating liberal.

Subtle hell, more like out&outright racism......

Is rascism bad?

[BGHater]

Seems more of a problem with bigotry than racism.

This should be the end of Klinton and Ko. Now we focus on the vapid magic negro. Oh wait, is that racist too?

[Minnesoootan]

Is it just me us does not almost every alternative and main stream article today just frickin bleed racism and feminism? I want a CIC I dont want a black or a woman or an old white guy,I want a CIC!!

Bloated is too kind. Have you seen how fat this tax and spend jerk is. If any Republican had said what this clown said he would be an ex Governor.

Rendell thinks this is why he defeated Swann in the last election.

[blackdog]

The entire democrat machine is suffering from thought disease. The sickness shows itself after decades of obsolete ideas which divide the country into groups like black women, single moms, soccer moms, angry males, jews from heimi-town, NASCAR hillbillies, etc......In the end democrat dinosaurs ended up pissing them all off by keeping the chattle segregated.

How would this have played in the MSM...

"You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate," Haley Barbour told Fox News in remarks that were repeated on Rush Limbaugh's show.

The Reverend(s) Jackson and Sharpton would be in full court ambulance mode...

Some pundit on tv said that he said some conservatives are not ready to vote for a black man for president yet.

I have heard it repeated at least 3 times on tv since it was reported.

Funny how they are trying to lay blame to this kind of behavior to conservatives when it was said by a liberal.

Have no fear FOB (Friend of Billary) Fast Eddie Rendell will make sure that PA goes for Clinton...the Philly machine will print out the necessary votes...and (just a guess) but PA's 'super, duper' delegates will go to Hillary as well. IMO Eddie wants to go to DC...a cushy cabinet appointment is a nice pay back for delivering the delegate-rich Keystone State.

Quick everyone........Check under all your trash cans. James Carville has gotta be wearing one of them somewhere.

I’m watching Princeton / Penn basketball on the tube. Earlier in the game, the cameras showed Rendell in attendance sitting by & chatting with Fox pollster Frank Luntz. Both were seriously chowing down on nachos & hotdogs.

[melstew]

I’ve sat immediately in front of Eddie at several games at the Palestra. He eats like a champ, and really used to work the refs. To his credit he is no “John Kerry sports fan”; he really knows the game. I took my son and daughter one night, and when we left I asked if they had had a good time. My 10 year daughter said “yeah, but who was that jerk sitting behind us.” I told her it was the Mayor of Philadelphia, Ed Rendell.

blackdog, ya know I saw on the front page of one of those tabloids, that if Hillary does not become President, Bill and Hillary are going to divorce.

It sure would explain the most brillant politican in the world's tactics of late.
