Bloomberg:

Today's primary in West Virginia matters so little to the Democratic presidential nomination race that front-runner Barack Obama will spend the day in Missouri and Michigan, two battleground states in the fall's general election.

Obama, who has racked up a commanding lead in delegates to the nominating convention over rival Hillary Clinton, for the first time opted to spend the day of a primary election in states that have already voted.

I am listening to Hillary's victory speech live, and there is no way this woman is ready to concede the nomination. Isn't this a kind of spectacle, her making this WV victory out to be a game-changer, when it's impossible for her to catch Obama? Or is it that she thinks whole swathes of superdelegates will flocki to her after tonight, finally convinced that Obama can't take the states he needs to beat McCain?

Does the GOP,MSM,Terrorist or her maid have something on her. I now this is just one state with small numbers but why? Is she trying to divorce the party from AA community?

Let me say it here first, I am sure I will say it again. Hillary has not hit any kind of glass-ceiling, she has but hit a crass-ceiling.

Another group within the United States that has historically blended a racist agenda with religious rhetoric, and was truly terroristic in its actions and goals, is the Ku Klux Klan. They have, however, declined significantly in both their membership numbers and "invisible" power-base in recent years, and although there are still very vocal individuals appearing from time to time, the threat posed by the Klan these days is basically limited to localized regions, in the form of parades and rallies. As the Klan has faded in its activities and numbers, it has been replaced by the extremely violent and rapidly growing racist movement known as the Aryan Nations, which is associated with the "Identity Church" and proclaims Anglo-Saxons to be "God's chosen people."

I presume the uneducated and rednecks clintonistas lack of basic notions of mathematics and live in a one-dimensional world. It would be the huger task for Obama to connect with them

RISE OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM AND ITS RELATION TO

UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES

From the moment a large proportion of the population begin to take his activities seriously, his success is assured. The Government can only intensify its repression, thus making the life of its citizens harder than ever: homes will be broken into, police searches organized, innocent people arrested, and communications broken; police terror will become the order of the day, and there will be more and more political murders - in short a massive political persecution . . . the political situation of the country will become a military situation.

-- Carlos Marighella, Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla

Domestic terrorism has existed and influenced the political and social structure of the United States, to varying degrees, since this country's inception. To be able to quantify the extent to which domestic terrorism has existed in our country, and to qualify the degree to which it has influenced our history, the definition of domestic terrorism must first be clarified

CNN projected Hillary as a 'big' winner in WV---about 2 minutes after the polls closed.

It's time Hillary got rid of her front teeth and started running for president in a parallel redneck America, somewhere on the other side of the universe.

Other similar groups have existed in the USA...Panc­ho Villa...Te­xas Rangers in the early days...San Francisco had a vigilante group...ca­nt remember what it was called. I think the clan filled the vacuum in Wv after the Civil War...and it migrated to the coal fields to protect people...w­hite people.
Secret groups have always existed...­militant, social...a­ltruistic.­..some display hatred and ignorance.­..

The Klan wasn't the secret group in WV. The Molly Maguires were the secret group in WV.

The Molly Maguires were mostly in western PA, with some in WV.

And Klan membership was secret---e­verywhere, even if it was an open secret.

Hillary won't be a factor in 2012, even if Obama loses to McCain. If he loses, it'll be Hillary's fault for pulling the race-card.

Just imagine if Klinton's makeup people put as much white cover
on Senator Obama as they do on Hillary, then he would have wiped
her off the map !!!

Why do the Rich explot - The problems of the Poor?

They had a free hand - to destroy the lifes of Americans - and
They actually think it was a good thing.

Weird values.


Hillary Clintons - Racist Roots are Showing

What gets me the most about Hillary and her army - Is they exploted racial divides
- and went for the old school dems - from kkk members - Bible totting - you convert
by the gun - Hardcores.

It's like all along - Her roots are showing - The GoldWater girl - looking to kill
any civil rights gains - over the past 40 years.

Basically she exploted her racist roots - and even through - in nuking people.

Talk of KKK rally stirs outrage in community
By Jim Schultz (Contact)
Sunday, October 7, 2007

An unsubstantiated posting on a white supremacist Web message board that publicized a Ku Klux Klan rally at an unspecified time or place Saturday in Redding sparked outrage in the community.

Although it was unknown if the KKK rally was indeed held on private land somewhere in Redding, news of the possible gathering ignited indignation among many Shasta County residents.

I don't think she's racist, she's just trying to appeal to people who want to know that somebody will be looking out for them. Isn't that exactly why Obama got 91% of the black vote in N.C.? Its just a matter of "who is like me". I really do NOT believe that half of the Democratic party is racist. If it is, how can he win the general election?

Halfd the democratic party ISN'T racist - but -most- of the voters in these two states ARE and Clinton, instead of dropping out as she should, because she keeps harming the nominee and stoking racism - which IMO is just heinous - will now try to claim that these uninformed racist whites represent ALL of the country.

I don't want to hear ANY MORE RACIST GARBAGE COME OUT OF KLINTON'S MOUTH.

I am appalled and completely aghast that she can get away with this - in 2008!

I thought America was better than this. I am SO disgusted.
