"The frame is specific -- that's why Clinton referred to hard working white Americans. What happened to "blue collar Americans?" Oh wait, there are a lot of hard working black and brown blue collar/working class Americans, and many of them they voted for Obama, so she had to slice that demo down to the bottom line. Dog whistles no more. "

Edwards' Campaign Manager to Endorse Obama
May 08, 2008 6:45 AM
ABC News has learned that David Bonior, the campaign manager for the 2008 presidential race of Sen. John Edwards, D-NC, will endorse Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, today.
I am a 64 year old caucasian women and have never been involved in politics b/4. Now supporting Obama from the beginning with calls to all states. He is right for our country and all he has done is to try to make our country better.
This racist slander and lies makes me cry and God too!!
Morals/ethics and knowing right from wrong are the same across all races!!!
BUT Hillary does not have them.
This is the true Hillary folks. She just put the last nail in her coffin for sure.
intervention.
"Through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as the Fellowship. Her collaborations with right-wingers such as Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and former Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) grow in part from that connection. "A lot of evangelicals would see that as just cynical exploitation," says the Reverend Rob Schenck, a former leader of the militant anti-abortion group Operation Rescue who now ministers to decision makers in Washington. "I don't....there is a real good that is infected in people when they are around Jesus talk, and open Bibles, and prayer."

I, too, am distressed by the notion that the Obama campaign might agree to pay off Hillary's campaign debt -- particularly now, after the North Carolina primary, when it is clear that every campaign dollar she racks up from now on is wasted money. (She has wasted enough already in mismanagement, etc.)
As a substitute teacher I make $75 a day. I have gladly and repeatedly given the Obama campaign money (that I truly could not afford to give) precisely because I support his stand for honesty and integrity.
I did not give that money to bail out someone who has demonstrated anything but ethical behavior. Someone whose limitless entitlement complex apparently extends, now, to expectations of being rewarded financially simply for doing the right thing and bowing out -- whether she does it gracefully or kicking and screaming.
The Obama campaign is welcome to use my money to get him elected. If there is a substantial balance in the account, it's fine with me for them to donate the rest to the DNC. But....the campaign committee needs to understand that it is creating a real stumbling block to further donations -- just when it really counts -- if it agrees to this plan.
Tell them to put a fork in Hillbot and Soon !!
Why are these people voting for this idiot? Don't they know any better or are they really racists? I'll go with racists.
"Niebuhr and Tillich's combination of aggressiveness in foreign affairs and limited domestic ambition naturally led Clinton toward the gop. She was a Goldwater Girl who, under the tutelage of her high school history teacher Paul Carlson (whom Jones describes as "to the right of the John Birchers"), attended biweekly anticommunist meetings and later served as president of Wellesley's Young Republicans chapter. Out of step with the era's radicalism, Clinton wrote Jones from college, lamenting that her fellow students didn't believe that one could be "a mind conservative and a heart liberal." To Jones, this question indicated that Clinton shared Niebuhr's notion of Christians needing to have "a dark enough view of life that they can be realistic about what's possible."

"When Clinton first came to Washington in 1993, one of her first steps was to join a Bible study group. For the next eight years, she regularly met with a Christian "cell" whose members included Susan Baker, wife of Bush consigliere James Baker; Joanne Kemp, wife of conservative icon Jack Kemp; Eileen Bakke, wife of Dennis Bakke, a leader in the anti-union Christian management movement; and Grace Nelson, the wife of Senator Bill Nelson, a conservative Florida Democrat."
http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2007/09...
"Clinton's prayer group was part of the Fellowship (or "the Family"), a network of sex-segregated cells of political, business, and military leaders dedicated to "spiritual war" on behalf of Christ, many of them recruited at the Fellowship's only public event, the annual National Prayer Breakfast. (Aside from the breakfast, the group has "made a fetish of being invisible," former Republican Senator William Armstrong has said.) The Fellowship believes that the elite win power by the will of God, who uses them for his purposes. Its mission is to help the powerful understand their role in God's plan."
http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2007/09...
"The Fellowship's ideas are essentially a blend of Calvinism and Norman Vincent Peale, the 1960s preacher of positive thinking. It's a cheery faith in the "elect" chosen by a single voter—God—and a devotion to Romans 13:1: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers....The powers that be are ordained of God." Or, as Coe has put it, "we work with power where we can, build new power where we can't."
When Time put together a list of the nation's 25 most powerful evangelicals in 2005, the heading for Coe's entry was "The Stealth Persuader." "You know what I think of when I think of Doug Coe?" the Reverend Schenck (a Coe admirer) asked us. "I think literally of the guy in the smoky back room that you can't even see his face. He sits in the corner, and you see the cigar, and you see the flame, and you hear his voice—but you never see his face. He's that shadowy figure."
Coe has been an intimate of every president since Ford, but he rarely imposes on chief executives, who see him as a slightly mystical but apolitical figure. Rather, Coe uses his access to the Oval Office as currency with lesser leaders. "If Doug Coe can get you some face time with the President of the United States," one official told the author of a Princeton study of the National Prayer Breakfast last year, "then you will take his call and seek his friendship. That's power."
Great comment you added.
thanks
why would hillary add those two words "white people" to her pitch??
did she actually believe that wouldn't be noticed? did she actually believe that anything out of her mouth, said to a crowd of people... was only going to be heard by those specific people?
was she addressing a klan rally??
Sen. Obama will need every dime he can raise in order to beat the neo-con swiftboat machine's attack ads between now and November. If Hillary were actually the statesman that she believes herself to be, she would be donating campaign cash to Sen. Obama to use in defeating McSame.
Step aside Hillary, for the good of the party and the good of the nation.
Obama '08!
She is just channeling the people of Appalachia.
The Queen of Appalachia!
A crown of dirty coal.
Shame on this woman for bringing up race, time and time again.
I'd think that she just painted my home state as a bunch of bigoted, uneducated rednecks.
yup, that'd get my vote for sure!
/snark
"Hardworking white people" is one of the most egregious of the coded ones.. We have seen lots of others, too, such as "suburban moms" and "NASCAR dads"...
He actually asked, "Why isn't Obama doing better in WVA?" And of course, Tweety let it go...but I would have slammed back, "Well, stop your racist campaign up there, moron."
Clinton's Open Letter To Obama On MI and FL
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/m.s.-bellows/clin...
That's apropos?
She merely stated the facts!
'White' and 'Older' voters ARE pulling for Clinton.
Clearly the 'Black' and 'Youth' vote ARE supporting Obama.
But if we were to combine these two...
We'd have a blending of the past and the future.
As an astrologer, looking at their charts, I gotta tell you...this combo could create a dynamic reality out of what was a far-out, creative or hoped for idea!
Just mho.
I know plenty of white voters who support Obama. A good number of us are older (whatever that means).......and lot of us are independents who think Obama is the right choice for our nation.
Just saying :-)
The Clinton Agenda : No bigot left behind!!!!
Anyway, is Hillary so deluded she actually thinks, or are Bill and her advisers telling her, she has a chance. And what is with her saying "white working people?" She is still pushing for Florida and Michigan to be counted. Florida and Michigan knew what was going to happen but they went ahead and did it. I wasn't born yesterday and I think I know that means Florida and Michigan screwed themselves. But not Hillary. Now she and Bill are out campaigning with "white" voters and what about the Party saying there would be no negative campaigning or they would rein her in. Clinton is a joke and so is the Democratic Party for allowing her to control everything.
