The "Archie Bunker" Strategy

[sunnystarr]

Intentionally or not, "Archie Bunker's congresswoman" was relaying the exact message that the Clinton campaign really wants out there, not in Torrence, Calif., or back in Queens but right here in Pennsylvania, in the mostly white rowhouse "river wards" of Philadelphia and a lot of working class burgs, from Scranton all the way down to the former steel towns of the Mon Valley.

Why do you think Clinton has distanced herself from the remark, but not so much really? And why do you think Geraldine Ferraro herself has been neither rejected nor denounced by the Clinton campaign?

The best take on this issue that I've seen yet. Please take time to read it.

1. If she proposes arming all the airline passengers, then we'll know for sure it's the Archie strategy

2. We didn't know we had coloreds in this country until Eleanor Roosevelt discovered them

I think Archie would be great on the O'Reilly Factor.

3. Archie would run rings around BillO with his precise geometric logic.

4. Best quote from the story:

"If Hillary Clinton is serious about becoming a true president for all Americans -- she would reject, denounce, repudiate, whatever the kids are calling it these days -- the support of Geraldine Ferarro. But that's not she's all about, not this springtime in Pennsylvania. She's all about winning."

Oh so true.

5. Ferraro is right and the Obama supporters can't face it.

6. Ouch and right in my TN backyard too!

Lucky for me I live in an Obama neighborhood lol (and I don't mean by race btw)

10. You just played the race card.

7. You can't face that your candidate is losing

and you are making reprehensible statements because of it.

[Blarch]

8. I agree.

9. it's a trick to get a response and emphasize a black/white paradigm

[sandnsea]

11. Oh yeah, absolutely

I think they wanted this to come out before Mississippi to turn out more Republicans there. They absolutely are playing the white racists and since I was raised in the west, I had no idea how many were still left in the east.
