Reply #147: whispers and code words are paying off

[leaningprog]

I grew up in an all white Catholic neighborhood, but my father owned
a business in an all black neighborhood and I worked there after school.
I learned all about the code words you use when you used to say
n****r. I saw my aunts and uncles and many other white people do it
in Missouri, and all of them church going, hard working, and in most
ways fairly representative white folks. I remember being really proud
of Bill Clinton taking on the Southern code words of hate when he was
still in his right mind and running for president. I could almost burst
that he could be that honest about race and repudiate the practice that
was the Lee Atwater Republican mainstay in the Southern strategy.

I watched Bill Clinton and the Clinton campaign and it's surrogates
trot it out and run it with the throttle wide open this year. This
is what finishes them and their cronies for me for keeps.

Plagiarist. Yep he's a common thief everyone, this makes your fears
OK, in fact right, because it's not racist to vote down a thief.

Elitist, don't look at me, the Republican Activist from Wellesley,
who turned millions on the post White House cash in, look at him,
he has made money too, is his money LEGAL like all of mine?

Full of Hate and Anger - He looks decent enough, but look at some
of the people and organizations he has had contact with. Go ahead,
it's not racism, your fears of him being a rabid and hateful person
trying to destroy you aren't racist, they are the right questions you
should ask. Oh, and if he denies it, he is probably a liar as well,
so keep at it, I know we will.

The Clintons are selling the idea that of course they, but in general
any, serious Democratic Presidential needs to be a White Anglo Saxon
Protestant, who is a surrogate candidate Black, Jewish, Hispanic,
etc. portions of the Democratic party. In essence, unlike the prejudice
of the boomers parents, this is the more politically correct boomer
brand of it. All minorities will have a voice, but it will be via
a boomer WASP intercessor in the White House. This to me is the same
old shit, in a fancy, boomer, designer bag.

It takes a Village of expendable, sworn to absolute loyalty people to
raise a Clinton, and then they can run along until they're needed
again. But if they possess the skills and support to be a real
contender, well Bill and Hillary are just going to have to cut them
up and disfigure them a little. They should enjoy this, after all,
it's "the fun part".
