(45,251 posts)Because it did, not that my sensibilities are the point. And gee, you sure switched from your incorrect point about media being to blame for my perception of the racism of Hillary's 2008 campaign to implying "merrily is a lying about being offended by a racist political campaign-- and, beside that, she obviously knows nothing about politics" very seamlessly.
That's sure a mark of something or other on your part. For the moment, I'll go with your having no decent rebuttal to attempt, so you went low, even though you said so much more about yourself than you tried to imply about me.
As for your Obama straw man, obviously, I never said a thing about his campaign.
News flash for the political veteran poster: Hillary seems to be running. Obama's definitely not running. 2016 is not 2008. It is not Hillary v. Obama this time around. I see no point in re-hashing the real or perceived faults of his 2008 campaign. Moreover, whatever they were or were not, they do not alter or excuse the racism of Hillary's campaign. And even if the racism iid not tear at your sensibilities, whatever their state of delicacy or callousness, then the judgment involved should. Because like Hillary's Iraq War advocacy, using racism as a Democratic primary campaign strategy was very bad judgment. So was Bubba's attempt to run this by Ted Kennedy in private.

So were campaign staffing choices. So was her comment that McCain was ready for 3 am phone call, but Obama was not.
With that, I'm done with your ad homs and inability to get over the 2008 primary for this thread. The last word is yours. Try not to make it as low as your reply 371. Among other things, desperation reeks.
