clinton disenfranchises voters

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1

The clintons have systematically tried to suppress the black vote. Oh wait, they are democrats, they don't do that, all republicans do but no dem does anything like this. If this had been a republican, they would have been called racists, bigots and more.

I read it twice and didn't see anything about supressing the black vote unless it's between the lines.

The tiff in NV was that the various casino unions came out for Obama. Hillary's troops were trying to negate the union vote (which primarily is Hispanic and not black.) Hillary's campaign sued over allowing the caucuses to be held in some of the casinos because that would have made it too easy for the union members to vote for Obama. But then later I saw a spot with Bill Clinton saying that her campaign didn't initiate the law suit, that they all read about it first in the paper. Couldn't tell if his nose was growing longer as he spoke.

Anyway, Xort, I don't think you can play the race card in this one against Hillary. Don't you have enough against her as it is? The casino workers could all have been Martians and it wouldn't have mattered. This appears to be a plain case of political tricks.

One thing I have to say about Hillary, she is equal opportunity. Doesn't matter about race, gender, etc., if they ain't for her, then they shouldn't get to vote.

my main point is that she was trying to stop people from voting by curtailing the time that was supposed to be allotted and that would have raised a firestorm if a republican had tried that. So OK, I was wrong, she wasn't suppressing the black vote, she was suppressing the union & latino vote. I guess they don't matter.

xort does have a point to the extent that we are about to witness a Democratic canidate, backed by the "first black president", run against an actually black canidate for the nomination. This will enable us to, once again, see the vaunted Clinton political machine in action. And the Clinton machine will do or say anything to achieve victory. That Clinton did not want the Nevadan causcuses held on casino sites is not obviated by the fact she won. That the Clinton machine was not ultimately behind the lawsuit to stop them requires a willful suspension of disbelief.

Be prepared for more of the Obama is not black enough innuendo. it will never be traced to the Clinton's, and they'll of course say it emanates from Republicans, but one should ask "cui bono", who profits, nevertheless. Al Sharpton has been saying it for months and Sharpton, aside from never having an original thought in his life, knows where his bread is buttered and it isn't with a successful black canidate who's not part of the current machine. Yeah, Sharpton and his ilk are in the Clinton's pockets because that's how the system works. If Clinton loses there will be no need for a designated race-monger and Al will become little more than a Brooklyn side-show.

Actually, she didn't win Nevada...Barak won more delegates than she di. But she did win the popular vote. Now she and algore have something else in common.
