Reply #6: It is horrible. And racism is horrible also [View All]

[Tom Rinaldo]

Has any one even considered the possibity that at least a few of Clinton's volunteers may have personally decided to throw in their lot with Clinton BECAUSE they do not want Obama to become President, and Clinton has always had the best chance of stopping him from becoming the Democratic nominee? If so than their personal agenda all along may have been more about stopping Obama than loving Clinton. It is hard to screen out people for having the wrong motivation until specific evidence emerges.

When it comes to discussing possible Stop Clinton alliances here on DU no one finds that odd. We talk about all kinds of scenarios under which voters might, or even "should", throw their support to one Democratic candidate or another in a calculated move mostly intended to stop Clinton from winning. If some one really has it in for Obama and is worried about him winning the Democratic nomination than working for Clinton is one tactic s/he may embrace. If so than Clinton unfortunately inherits their racist baggage along with their contributions until that comes to light.
