it is from Al Jazeera through the Daily Kos

doesn't make me angry it makes me sad. These people are struggling yet their racism and ignorance is what keeps voting against their interest. Didn't they vote to re-elect their crazy Senator last time

1. Oh come on! After how hard Clinton and her supporters have worked....

to keep up the no-racism lie, you gotta post THIS?

For shame!

[ej510]

3. Yet sexism is the problem. Race has had no factor at all!

:sarcasm:

[VolcanoJen]

6. The Obamas are the racists!!!!

Why don't you get that? They are racist and sexist.

:sarcasm:

[BlooInBloo]

7. How odd that I haven't see all of the oh-so-many videos of Obama supporters....

talking about how they just can't vote for a woman.

17. I feel a little sorry for the Clinton volunteers that went to

...W. Va. and Kentucky.

Can you imagine?

It must have been an eye-opener!

Her "base" meeting her base.

2. Ooo that's very sad

How many people are judging him on preconceived notions?

[Why Syzygy]

4. The neo-racist.

I could never live in a place like that.

[LakeSamish706]

5. And many of those people were very careful to make sure no one would...

think that they were racists... That disgusts me beyond belief.

[swishyfeet]

8. Yeah, but people tease Hillary about her pantsuits. It's a wash.

[gabeana]

9. Pantsuits versus outright racism is a wash?

please explain

[swishyfeet]

11. Sarcasm.

I need to switch back to my Obama avatar. It causes less confusion in these circumstances.

;)

[BlooInBloo]

12. Nah - no need. It was obvious.

EDIT: Clarified.

[gabeana]

13. Sorry being dense n/t

[Window]

10. Oh, the irony...from a place called Lovely, Kentucky.

Very sad indeed.

[gabeana]

14. sad this is the sentiment that was prevalent in WV n/t

[Window]

16. Yes, I know and it's extremely sad and disappointing in this day and age.

[cyndensco]

15. Some said Obama should have spent more time campaigning in Kentucky.

I understand why he didn't waste his time in rural Ky if this is any indication of how many of them think. There would be little, if anything, he could have said to open their minds.

Hopefully, this time next year they will know President Obama has no intention of forcing them to the back of the bus. Who knows, maybe one day they will even learn to respect him.

18. Auctioning off a can of manwich?

Jesus Christ! What a time-consuming way to shop for grocieries!

[quantass]

19. LOL!

[psychmommy]

20. when i think i have it hard

i see some stuff like that and i have it pretty good. he should have went in there with a food drive. that is ridiculous that they are suffering like that. it doesn't matter if they hate me or obama-that shouldn't stop us from reaching out to them somehow. we really are becoming a 3rd world country.
