Hillary goes where even Nixon refused to tread.
Manila Ryce over at The Largest Minority has brought up a brilliant point regarding Hillary and some of her recent comments regarding Obama's electability:
When Nixon was running against Kennedy, he acknowledged that much of his support was due to the anti-Catholic prejudices of Protestant fundamentalists, and denounced this bigotry. Nixon stated that he did not want the vote of anyone who was making their decision based on religious prejudices.
Hillary Clinton has done the opposite, showing that she has even less integrity than Nixon. Rather than denounce the attitudes of Americans who will not vote for Obama because he is black, she has given a nod and a wink to her “broader base” of “whites who had not completed college”, allowing them to vote their prejudices – prejudices amplified by the continuous spin of ratings-driven content.
Quite brilliant. That is exactly what Hillary is doing and, as Manila states, it's actually worse than Nixon. Click title to go to Largest Minority and hear Mumia Abu-Jamal discuss "The Politics of Ignorance and Fear"
