Democratic "racism": Obama's campaign manager changes the party line

This memo proves that the Obama campaign has -- since January -- been behind the vile attempt to insinuate that the Clintons are racists. Before the Obamoids embarked on this propaganda strategy -- negative campaigning at its very worst -- Hillary Clinton had the majority of the African American vote. With cool and calculated deceit, the Obama team racialized statements such as Bill Clinton's "fairy tale" remark.

The Obama campaign always knew that this assault was deceptive, as this interview with campaign manager David Plouffe confirms:
I mean the vast, vast majority of voters who would not vote for Barack Obama in November based on race are probably firmly in John McCain's camp already.
Plouffe was caught between a rock and a hard place here. He gave this response after being asked if America's racism rendered Obama unelectable in the general. His answer directly contradicts the Bot Party Line that Clinton has sent out "dog whistles" to those imaginary hordes of Democratic bigots.

Think about it: Why would Hillary alienate her (once numerous) black voters in order to attract white racists? Plouffe himself now confirms that hardly any white racists exist in the Democratic Party.

The contradiction is inescapable.

Whistling in the dark, beeta. That's all you are doing. Plouffe's statement is absolutely damning to all those pushing the "Clinton's-a-racist" meme. And without that deliberate lie, Obama would not be where he is.

Plouffe is bleedin' nipped, right and true, guvnor.

To base your WHOLE accusation that Obama is the "real racist" only on this memo is incredibly bigotted.

Beeta is not whistling in the dark, you are !

Every one in a while I allow one of these bravely anonymous "drive by" comments to slip through, if only to demonstrate the cowardice and silliness of these people.

I'm whistling in the dark? I've offered an argument. You've offered -- nothing.

My point isn't about their history with LaRouche, it's about what their demonstrated history and agenda is.

Obama is way the fuck over his head, lacking principles, and being USED.

And since plan A, use him to shoot down Clinton nomination, isn't working out so well, plan B may be a national nightmare that will make the bamabot-realDem squabbles look like little kids fights. But the media would see ratings soar.
