Hillary Raises Race, Religion in Call To Seat FL, MI Delegates
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

On its face, Hillary's email to supporters that just arrived in my inbox is a call to the highest civic values. In support of her demand to seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida, Hillary righteously writes [emphasis added]:

"No matter where you were born or how much money you were born into, no matter the color of your skin or where you worship, your vote deserves to count."

But let's consider this a bit more closely. Has anyone previously suggested that the reluctance to seat the delegates from Florida or Michigan has anything whatsoever to do with the race or religion of voters there? Can Hillary allege with a straight face that this is some nefarious plot against voters of a certain hue or denomination? Of course not. We all understand what this is about. Obama doesn't want to seat the delegates because it would help Hillary in the delegate and popular vote count. And the DNC is reluctant to do so because the two states flouted party rules in moving up the dates of their primaries.

Kentucky, West Virgina and Pennsylvania - Hildabeast thinks that those States contain “Fox News Democrats”. Thus repeated efforts directed towards race-baiting.

Both camps made a deal at the start to disregard Michigan & Forida voters in favor of moving the primaries up.

A deal's a deal and Ramboho neads to deal with it.

ahem....testing,testing...1,2,3

Because Florida and Michigan votes weren't going to seat any delegates at the convention ( i.e. the votes wouldn't count) blacks stayed home and didn't vote

Rev.s Jesse & Al, you are welcome to use this.

If the vote don’t fit, you must acquit.

This seems to me that Hillary is tilting at windmills, kind of like Don Quixote.

Looks like peninsular discrimination to me.

Hellary would get a shovel and dig up Vince Foster if she thought it would help her.
