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.

If Hillary goes down hard in this campaign, look for the bodies to start stacking up again like cordwood. They both will leave the country in exchange for an informal agreement not to prosecute them for a lifetime of grifting first Arkansas and then the nation. Witness lists are long and plentiful. The ones who don’t drink the Kool-Aide will get a visit from Mr.Shush! in the middle of the unexpected hour of their departure.
Reports on one of the other threads say that another Clinton campaign official has jumped ship.
That’s a great point, and how about this gem from the spokesman:
“He wasn’t being critical, he wasn’t making accusations, but just being realistic.”
How could saying people aren’t ready to vote for a black candidate not be critical? If Eddie is not criticizing that behavior is he condoning it? I mean, I know we live in an era of soundbytes and drive-by journalism—but do these people even think about what they write?
Rendell’s OVERT rascism.......there, fixed it!
Nothing subtle about Rendell’s racism at all.
It’s fun to bash Rendell and Hillary and they deserve it, but Fast Eddie actually has a point.
I grew up in SW PA and go back regularly. That part of the state, in my opinion, does have more than its fair share of racists. Of course those bigots have never voted for a Republican in their lives. There may be exploding heads at the polling places when they try to vote for a black democrat.
My PA governor is an embarrassment. But the sheeple keep voting for him.
We need to stop calling leftist racism “subtle”, “soft” or “reverse.” It’s just plain racism, and that label needs to be shouted from the rooftops.
