You make a good point...almost.

I'll say this as a centrist...not a liberal...who thinks that a decent amount of "progressives" can be elitist.

Want the clip here...21% of Hillary's voters in Kentucky factored race into their decision in voting for her. And 90 of those that took race into account were white.

The problem isn't Kentucky. Or rural people. Or Republicans. Or conservatives. (Meaning racists don't have to live in the woods of Oregon as well.)

It shows that there are a significant amount of people won't vote for Barack Obama because he is a black man. Period. Thats what the votes are saying themselves. That's not an overanalysis.

True, the liberal/left/progressive wing has to be careful not to classify anyone who doesn't vote for Obama as a racist (and I'm sure a lot will position it that way). But the evidence is right there on the posted video.

By the way, this has nothing to do with Hamas.

Words to live by


So, I am driving, and thinking of Nick Lachey posing nude for Playgirl. My first thought is DAMN! I am going to have to buy that. But after much deliberation, I decide it isn't a good idea. What if I see his dick and am disappointed? Then what? Then whenever I see him I'll think "your dick is ugly". Nahhh, I guess I won't be buying it. I'd rather like to continue believing that all dicks I haven't seen are beautiful. Maybe I am a little naïve but hey, that means that I think half of my readers are looking good.
