		<description>Pamela:
Why is it that you only defend Gilbert?  He makes fun of D. Prows, a regular around here &amp; you let it slide.  

I wasn&#039;t attacking Mr. Gilbert, I was just asking him do  to what his candidate, Sen. Clinton asked of Sen. Obama - renounce the racism.  If he can&#039;t do that, what kind of a Democrat is he, for crying out loud.  I&#039;m asking him to be fair, &amp; you know it too.  I didn&#039;t make up those words, those are Sen. Clinton&#039;s own words, &amp; any objective person will see that race/racism is exactly what she&#039;s talking about, particularly since she&#039;s campaigning in Kentucky &amp; West Virginia.  I&#039;m not putting down the voters in those states, I&#039;m just stating that racism isn&#039;t dead &amp; pandering to those low human instincts is wrong.  

&amp; I do hope he does well on his thesis.  I just hope he understands what Sen. Clinton thinks of academics.  Again, her words, not mine.  Please, everybody has warts, I&#039;ve got my share.  By continuing this adulation of Sen. Clinton, as if she is the messiah, with no warts, doesn&#039;t help the party one single bit.</description>

		<description>As usual, you miss my point Mr. Gilbert.  I was referring to the Clinton campaign making fun of any sort of academic excellence.  Remember, populist Sen. Clinton &amp; her loony Republican endorsed gas tax holiday.  I&#039;m sure you read about.  It&#039;s too bad that you are so defensive about your academic excellence &amp; work.  I do think, however, that your support of Sen. Clinton &amp; her white voters does allow me to demand of you that you repudiate the obvious racism implicit in her remarks.  As an ex-academic I too, know that words really do count, really do mean something.  Plus, I meant it as a light jibe.  She&#039;s the one who, pardon the expression, threw the folks with doctorates under the bus.  Good luck with your thesis defense.  I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll do fine.</description>

		<description>cold,
I don&#039;t need to justify my record on racial equality or academic ability to you. But thank you for your concern. Feel free to share your concerns about my academic integrity with my thesis committee. I&#039;m meeting with them soon.</description>

		<description>Thanks for &quot;answering&quot; my &quot;concern&quot; with a non sequitor, Darrell. That seems to be a pattern among Obama supporters. My point was that this is not a black and white issue today. If you want to say that all races are racist except blacks, fine. But the Obama narrative is turning this into to a &quot;white working class&quot; = racist narrative. I reject that. While it may be true, in principle, the data suggest otherwise.

Obama has not won the non-African American demographic since March (excluding Guam, which was a caucus)--&lt;i&gt;two months&lt;/i&gt;. Take out African American voters from OH, TX, PA, NC, IN and what would the score be? Before the tired calls of racism are shouted, I&#039;ll say again, the AA community deserves kudos for exercising such political muscle. But that doesn&#039;t change the fact that Obama is winning based off universal support from one racial demographic. He&#039;s been losing all others for two months now. I propose that is because he has no experience and that will be what leads to a Dukakis (at best) performance in November.</description>

		<description>Pamela:
Stop the euphemisms - she&#039;s talking about white voters, not &quot;certain sectors of voters.&quot;  Why are you so afraid to say white people &amp; Sen. Clinton in the same breath?  As an aside, I sure hope Mr. Gilbert isn&#039;t writing an economics thesis, if you know what I mean?</description>

She&#039;s citing the exit polls which show Obama&#039;s support weakening in certain sectors of voters. Is that a crime to state that? If you think it is you are the one quacking.</description>

If you support &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-05-07-clintoninterview_N.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; this:&lt;/a&gt;


&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,&quot; she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article &quot;that found how Sen. Obama&#039;s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.&quot;

&quot;There&#039;s a pattern emerging here,&quot; she said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Then you are quacking like a duck.</description>

		<description>We are screwed with Obama, but the party will give it to him to pasify the blacks at the expense of the rest of us, even if they know he will lose in the fall. The party and the media hobbled Clinton from the start!!!! Its a testiment to her spirit and determination that she has come this far. I think it was deliberate on the part of the DNC. They disenfranched Florida and Michigan just to screw Senator Clinton. Their media allies have &quot;swift Boated&quot; her with a maximim dose of misogyny. 

I don&#039;t think they care about winning the presidency, They are more interested in their own internal power struggle within the party. We really need to clean house and vote a lot of these people out!!!!! They don&#039;t care about the people or about what is best for the country.

Today, I heard CNN saying that Obama is making the case to SDs that he can win florida, and Navada in the general election!!! What Bull Sh*t!!!!! I almost fell off my chair when I heard John King say that that was the Obama campaigns argument.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!</description>

The numbers speak for themselves. More people have voted for Sen. Obama than for Sen. Clinton. A heck of a lot of folks who are not black are inckuded in that number. Account for that, please.</description>

		<description>The &quot;Wright thing&quot; does bother me. It bothers me because Wright has made it clear that he does not believe women are especially oppressed or violated. Though I hate to see Wright used as a racist weapon against Obama, nothing can change the fact that Wright demeans women. For that matter, so does the famous leader whom Wright idolizes.</description>
