Lies Newsweek writer and Obama groupie Clift…The "bitter" answer, captured on audiotape, came in response to a question about whether Obama could win white rural voters because he is black. He basically said these voters have other grievances more salient than race, which is why they don't vote their economic interests and are vulnerable to wedge issues having to do with God, gays and guns.

Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor. You choose to equate … they get bitter, they cling to … antipathy to people who aren’t like them … with He basically said these voters have other grievances more salient than race…

Nupe, not even close.

Now, I’m not saying this, it's entirely hypothetical. But if someone accused Newsweek of pimping you for Obama, would that be the same as having journalistic activities more salient than true characterization of your favorite candidate?

Eleanor doesn’t have kneepads, she has callouses that LOOK
like kneepads.

“He basically said these voters have other grievances more salient than race, which is why they don’t vote their economic interests and are vulnerable to wedge issues having to do with God, gays and guns.

Gee Barrak, maybe those wedge issues threaten their economic interests maybe even their way of life, maybe race doesn’t matter to them like it does to you?

Baaaah. Trying to talk logic to liberals is like trying to explain algebra to a dog.
