Clinton used race as a campaign tactic in 2008 - she's doing worse now

156. The problem with these kind of posts is they lose the big picture

Let's look at the broad charge of using race as a campaign tactic.

The implication is that Hillary is either a closet racist (you say your not saying this, but some, I guess would leave it on the table) or some kind of nefarious person who'll use racist tactics to achieve power and authority.

The evidence?
1). Some idiot with a marketing degree developed a dumb add on guns where a picture of Obama's head is overlayed on top of the gun barrel (It's clearly not pointing at him as you claim).
2). Geraldine Ferraro said something insensitive and resigned because of it.
3). HRC said Obama is not a Muslim as far as she knows.
4). A poster named Troutnut claimed the Clinton campaign darkened Obama's face in an add. The Clinton campaign denied the charge. No MSM kerfuffle.
5). A women's group made a mistake on some robo-calls, apologized profusely for it, saying they were doing such high volume they didn't recognize the dates would cause voter confusion in advance. There is a claim of the calls going to black neighborhoods, but no proof of targeting is in the links.

When you take away all the pretty pictures and links, read these 5 points, you have nothing...but here's something:

1). President Barack Obama thought enough of HRC to make her Secretary of State. Trusted her enough that she was involved in getting bin Laden, starting Iran nuclear talks, etc.
2). John Lewis, a civil rights icon and a force for fairness in Congress is a big HRC supporter.
3). POC are supporting Hillary's candidacy over BS in huge numbers.

I don't know whether I should be offended or just laugh.

These petty gaffes / charges have no weight compared to the President's judgement...and the collective judgement of POC. Are you saying they are fools or just ill informed?

Look, I get it. It's disappointing Bernie has yet to develop a broader appeal...but it's his actions that are responsible, not Hillary's. He's got an unbelievable record as mayor of Burlington, VT and no one talks about it...that's his fault. Some of the things he did were cutting edge. His people went on to run that town in a Republican area for 28 of 30 years after he left....that's impressive.

His continued tin ear moves on race (BLM, Cornell West endorsement, etc.) and attacking the President by saying Bernie would have been more successful with the Republican Congress killed his appeal far more than any snippet from the Hillary campaign.

Lastly, Bernie is no sexist or racist either. Those charges are dumb too.

I would ask that all of you Sanders folks please stop posting these sour grapes OP's. They have no redeeming value and don't help Sanders win votes.
