At this point, for the good of the Democratic party, Hillary should call it quits

[brentspeak]

Intentional or not, far too many of Hillary's supporters have made statements provoking racial controversy. These supporters are not racist, but they have played the race-card (Obama's supporters have played it, too), and the accumulated weight of the comments have had the worst possible effect on the campaign.

The campaign against McCain is guaranteed to be ugly no matter who runs against him; but there's no reason to divide (or even destroy) the Democratic constituency before the nominee is even settled.

Time for Hillary to graciously -- and quickly -- step down.

1. which is why I posted this thread this morning Brent

I'm pretty sure I was being attacked by some of the same old people a couple of whom are now on ignore-for the good of my own health

2. If Hillary Clinton gave a flying f*ck about

the good of the Democratic Party she would have quit a month ago.

[nomorewhopper]

3. we're about two weeks past the point when she should have dropped out

[KAZ]

4. Hillary's career is over. She is now a party outcast. Hope she..

.. enjoys her last few years in the Senate. They will be her last. Pelosi made that clear today.

[SoFlaJet]

7. yea I just watched that a half hour ago Kaz

talk about not needing a weatherman to see which way the wind is blowing-I guess that idea she had about trying to kife off super delegates to somehow steal this election idea just went out the window

[KAZ]

8. I'm actually kind of sad. She blew all of Bill's political capital

.. for what? To end it all with a bunch of racist shit. Going out ugly.

This is why I didn't reply to your earlier thread on the unity ticket. She no longer can be rehabilitated.

[SoFlaJet]

20. I had hoped it would stop

but it just keeps getting worse and worse

[MH1]

26. What did Pelosi say? I missed it.

If it's as you are characterizing, then kudos to Pelosi!!

[KAZ]

28. In regards to the "dream ticket".

"I think that the Clinton administration has fairly ruled that out by proclaiming that Senator McCain would be a better commander-in-Chief than Obama," she said.

[MH1]

29. Oh my. I guess that little kiss to McCain from Clinton

didn't go unnoticed after all.

I really have to think the party elders (those who aren't bound to the Clintons somehow) are about going ballistic behind the scenes, about the b.s. Clinton is pulling.

[flordehinojos]

5. why doesn't baracaka the healer realize that it is he who must resign to the continued campaigning

so as to unite the party and for the good of the country.

time for baracka to graciously--and quickly--step down.

9. Getting really close to "macaca," aren't you? NT

16. Obama's father, BTW, was an atheist. You are aware of what "macaca" means?

[flordehinojos]

21. i understand that his father was too a devoted Muslim with ties to

the "Kenyatta regime" in Africa and someone who also sympathized with or had connections to the Mau Maus of Africa.

[NYCGirl]

24. No, you're wrong.

31. Skating on some mighty thin ice, aren't ya...

You might have to find a new internet home after all is said and done.

[last1standing]

34. I've alerted.

If this is what DU has become then I'll be done with it. I didn't spend the last 7 years here to put up with this racist shit. :mad:

[last1standing]

32. So you're posting racist and maliciously wrong information on DU.

You're using "Baracka" to insinuate - not subtly, either - that Obama is really a dirty, dangerous Muslim, huh? I'm truly disgusted.

[backscatter712]

27. After Geraldine Ferarro, the Hill-Shills aren't trying very hard to veil their racism anymore. n/t

[last1standing]

35. It's only a couple of them, but those few are sickening.

n/t

[cali]

10. no, dear. you're a wee bit confused

He's the one winning. She's losing. And she's on thin ice when she's publically rebuked by Pelosi. Whether she's a lousy Speaker or not, she is the most powerful dem in Congress.

[flordehinojos]

23. ah, cali. hand't heard from in a while.

i stick to my clearheadedness ...

[elehhhhna]

25. frontrunner? step down? pass me some of what you're smokin.

[Johnny__Motown]

6. We have all been saying this for weeks. She is to self centered to consider it. Just wants to

destroy our nominee's chances in the GE so she has a shot to run again in 2012.

I see no other reasonable explanation for those statements

[OzarkDem]

11. Obama should renounce his swiftboat tactics

Voters are sick of his whining and his sexist attacks on Clinton. He's running the most destructive, divisive campaign I've seen in 30 years. He apparently has so much hatred for the Democratic Party that he thinks its fine to destroy it in an attempt to win.

He should be called out for what he is and banned from the party.

[hayu_lol]

13. For such an inspirational candidate...

he certainly is not that far ahead. Perhaps it is his time to step down for the good of the country and this election.

Any coin has two sides.

[DeadElephant_ORG]

15. um... you care to offer ANY SPECIFICS ? idiot.

[annie1]

14. Obama should drop out for boring me every time he opens his mouth.

[trueblue2007]

17. BRENT...for the good of DU.....maybe you should call it quits!!

lololol.

[sniffa]

18. Kick for coalescing around Obama, the presumptive nominee

:kick:

[BringBigDogBack]

19. agree. But it won't happen. She has to have that POWER....

That's what it is about for both of the Clintons, I've come to realize. :(

[OhioChick]

22. Agreed. However, She Won't. n/t

[LulaMay]

30. What are you all so afraid of? Her possibly winning? Sexism is what's hurting this party.

[Patchuli]

33. She will not get the delegates she needs.

She CANNOT win the nomination. If she were truly concerned first for the Democratic Party, she would face the facts.

I would love a woman to be president. I would have preferred Barbara Boxer. Since that was not happening, and Gore doesn't want it and John Edwards suspended, I chose Obama. I am not prejudiced towards my own gender. Hillary will never justify her refusal to admit she erred on her vote for IWR. That pretty much decided me on her.

[Jillian]

36. John King on CNN showed a scenario where she could win.

He loves his electronic map :P and is always playing around with it.

If she wins W Va; PA; Fl; Mi and some other states, she can do it.

[Patchuli]

37. She won't...nt
