I've been wondering who are these people that the press keeps saying are not going to vote democratic in November if Hillary doesn't get the nomination... and now I know.

I think we're all better off if that person doesn't vote.

Serious Batshit Craziness
All these wonderful things — If any of you are political junkies, then you've probably been tuning in to the fractious DNC Rules Committee hearings this afternoon which seem to have solidified Barack Obama's claim to the nomination. Much has been made of the loud, pro-Hillary protesting that went on inside the hearing room, but if one Harriet Christian is any representative, perhaps these folks should do a little less verbalizing if they want to be a net-plus for their candidate (via the liberal blog Firedoglake):

Unity in November? THIS WOMAN IS FURIOUS - WATCH
Gretawire — I hear from Democratic Party leaders as they pass through Fox News Channel that no matter who is the candidate in November (and it does look like it will be Senator Obama), there will be UNITY in the Party come November. I keep wondering, what are they smoking??? That is not what I am seeing…I keep telling these Democrats that ...

Over by Thursday or Friday
Hollywood Elsewhere — Over by Thursday or Friday "Asked if Barack Obama would wait to get a concession call from Hillary Clinton before claiming the nomination, Obama campaign adviser Anita Dunn said the onus was on Clinton now that the Democratic Party has firmed up the number of delegates needed to claim the party's nod. "'He's not going to wait by the phone like a high-school girl waiting for a date,' said Dunn. 'That's not Barack Obama." Obama's campaign is 68 delegates away from clinching the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, according to an ABC News delegate estimate. The campaign "expects to win around 38 delegates in the final three contests of Puerto Rico, South ...

Unity in November? THIS WOMAN IS FURIOUS - WATCH
Gretawire — (I am reposting this blog entry since it obviously has stirred a vigorous debate — which might be an understatement — some debate good, some a bit rough …but nonetheless vigorous …) I hear from Democratic Party leaders as they pass through Fox News Channel that no matter who is the candidate in November (and it does ...

Bitter Clinton Supporter Thrown Out of Rules and By-laws Committee Meeting
World of Wonder Productions — "I'm no second-class citizen, and goddamn the Democrats!" bellowed self-called proud older American woman Harriet Christian yesterday. "I got news for all-a you – McCain will be the next president of the United States!"

Gawker — Oh Sen. Hillary Clinton, this really isn't the kind of thing you need at all. You know, that whole angry, shouty, "shrill" thing? Just something to think about is all. ...

Harriet Christian Thrown out by Democrats
HollywoodGrind - Celebrity gossip juicy celebrity rumors celebrity scandals Hollywood gossip blog — Harriet Christian is an older American that made some valid points, and the Democrats should open their eyes and listen to her. Equality for all was her message, but they still threw her out of the Democrat Committee Meeting they tried to keep a secret she said. To summarize what she said: Barack Obama is only the Democratic nominee because a female candidate was running. Hillary Clinton is the best candidate, but can’t get the nomination because she is a woman. John McCain will ...

Will Bower: My Evening With Harriet Christian
Huffington Post Entertainment Blog — It was when the DNC's Rules & Bylaws Committee made its ruling on Michigan that Harriet Christian came into my life. From a few rows behind me, her piercing, wizened, New York voice rang out through the awkward silences in the auditorium of the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. I wish now I could remember each and everything she said. All I remember is that I was glad she was saying it. The DNC had just committed a crime, and I was happy that there was someone unashamed to reveal her fury to all those present. As we all exited the ballroom -- many of us in disgust -- I saw the cameras swarm in on our Harriet. I decided to stay and watch her ...

Clintonite Calls Obama "Inadequte Black Man"
Black Voices Blogs — [image] At least one Hillary Clinton supporter went ballistic over the weekend as the DNC Rules and Bylaws committee's decision regarding the fate of Michigan and Florida delegates went against Clinton continue reading to see the video clip. The debate was hot, heavy and partisan; democracy as it's played for real. In the end, the decision was to seat full delegations from both states but each delegate will only have a half vote. This has got some Hillary supporters crazy upset and again pitting Obama's race against Hillary's gender ...

Paging Jeremiah Wright: There's A White Guy Stealing Your Show!!! [Crappy Hour]
Jezebel — [image] And in the end, it was a white Catholic guy who drove Barack Obama to quit his radical, black Muslim separatist Church of Latter-Day Erstwhile Standup Comedians. Anyway, meet Father Michael Pfleger . He doesn't even preach at Trinity Church, he's just a regular on their "You Can't Do That On The Vatican" open mic nights, and dude. Here's the clip of Father mocking Hillary's sense of white entitlement climaxing with a showy display of a handkerchief and a plaintive wail of: "THERE'S A BLACK GUY STEALING MY SHOWWW." Now, a lot of you are going to be offended by Pfleger, and I would be too, if I hadn't watched it directly after ...

Fighting Over Scraps
baldilocks — That's what the Democrat constituencies of blacks, Hispanics and white women are doing. With a black man and a white woman going down to the wire in the Donk contest, how can it be otherwise? You have the black Democrats, most of whom will vote for Obama to see the "Dream realized," and who don't know about or choose to ignore the candidate's very real and very numerous deficiencies for the job in question in deference to that dream. You have the Hispanic Democrats, mostly of Mexican descent and who vie with the blacks for turf, handouts, political ground--you name it--and, therefore, would never vote for a black person. They could never believe that a black person ...

This is how they REALLY Feel about you, Senator Obama! Hillary Supporter Rants About Obama Being an "Inadequate" Black Man!
Afronerd: putting the Black Bourgeoisie back on top(of the Ghetto Masses) — I first received word (by way of this morning's NY Post) about this Clinton supporter ranting (and being ejected) after this past weekend's delegate committee where by now, everyone should be keenly aware of the 50/50 vote split for Michigan and Florida. I'm not going to rehash the obvious. Okay, maybe this one point. If you make a rule-stick to it-the youth and more specifically young voters are watching. What good is a rule and the subsequent penalty, if one can simply whine enough to have said infraction removed? And just what makes Senator Obama "inadequate?" He certainly ran ...

Fervent Clinton Supporter Explains Tirade to Fox News
Gothamist — After the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee decided to give Florida's and Michigan's delegates half votes, a dedicated Hillary Clinton supporter who had traveled from Manhattan to the meeting on Saturday vented to those gathering at the Marriott. And did she vent! Caught by left-leaning blog Firedoglake (video above), Harriet Christian, a self-described "older American woman," accused the Democratic Party of throwing female Democrats under the bus and called Barack Obama "an inadequate black male." And then she said, "They think we won't turn ...

Barack Obama, Island Stylee
afrobella — Say or feel what you will about Barack Obama’s race for the White House — it’s undeniable that his candidacy is inspiring not just to a variety of Americans, but to a vast range of cultures around the world. Especially in my neck of the woods. Talk to Caribbean people these days and you get a real sense of excitement about the man who might become America’s first black president. Musical expressions of that hope have been popping up all over the place — at Best of the Best, Buju Banton and Junior Reid both made references to the democratic nominee, and Tarrus Riley did this tune that had a MASSIVE ...

Jane Hamsher: Clinton To Obama: If You Don't Want Me, You're Gonna Have To Tell Me
Huffington Post Entertainment Blog — It was inevitable -- somebody had to lose. Typically, identity politics is a tactic that Democrats employ against Republicans. This time, it was the blueprint for a battle fought within the Democratic party. An extremely emotional race that ended last night, but the final coda has yet to be heard. The stage was set not last night with Hillary Clinton's non-concession speech but last weekend at the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting, which seems by now ancient history. But it's not possible to deconstruct what is happening now and the dance between the candidates without looking to what ...

Would You Listen To Abba With This Guy? [Crappy Hour]
Jezebel — [image] Oh, John. Back in 2000, you were a Maverick, almost Tom Cruise-like, with your rakish smile and your willingness to buck the system that we all hated so much. You charmed us, led us to believe that you were different than all those other pilots in all those other bars who would try and fail to sing to our souls, or at least different than George W. Bush. And, like Tom Cruise isn't Maverick in real life but a crazy, Scientology-proselytizing, silent-birth having freak, so, too, have your days of playing The Maverick come to an end. We know the truth, and no karaoke can change that, not the Righteous Brother and not Abba. With Moe a little snowed under this ...
