Clinton backer: Superdelegates need to consider 'bitter' remark

Sen. Evan Bayh, Hillary Clinton’s top backer in the May 6 primary state of Indiana, argued Saturday that superdelegates need to evaluate Barack Obama’s “bitter” remarks when deciding who to back for the Democratic nomination.

“I think it’s a real potential political problem and it’s something for superdelegates and voters to think about,” said Bayh, who was made available to reporters by the Clinton campaign to speak about the controversy.

“The far right wing has a very good track record of using things like this relentlessly against our candidates, whether its Al Gore or John Kerry,” Bayh said, “I’m afraid this is the kind of fodder they might use to harm him.”

The popular Indiana senator said Republicans were able to tarnish Kerry’s war record and turn Gore into a “serial fibber,” and predicted they will “use this to damage Barack, the Democratic party, and ultimately frustrate the change that we need in this country.”

If ever there were a time to humiliate the Democrats out of existence, it is now.

How can anyone in their right mind vote for these people when they trash the small-town American citizen?

From this moment forward, ANYONE who votes for Obama with the knowledge of his condescending statements is not worth their US citizenship, and they are certainly not worth talking to.

White fools and black racists, all.

Nothing more, nothing less.

The only "change" that Obama is selling is that he wants to change as many white Americans as possible into having the same "I am a victim" mentality held by so many blacks.

I think he is trying to spread the "I am a victim" ideology to whites. It has worked so well with blacks, especially for people like Rev. Wright and other black preachers and black politicians, that he sees it working just as well on whites. He is trying to sell the same Kool Aid to whites that he and others have been selling to blacks for generations. He is urging whites to "play the victim card".

The better question, I think, is “why do Dem candidates keep saying ‘things like this’?”

I think the answer is because the Democrat elite think little of America as an ideal and Americans in general.

They are Internationalist Socialists and think real American sentiments, religious beliefs, and natural rights are an embarrassment; rather than an inspiration to the world, and often the actual physical salvation of this world, demonstrating that there is an escape from the nightmare and tyranny of the absolute government control that Socialists espouse.
