Hillary Accuses Democrats of Being Bigots
That’s what John O’Sullivan contends:
Her campaign’s excuse for defeat - that sexism trumped racism - implicitly accuses all Democrat voters of being bigots. It leaves behind a poisonous atmosphere of internecine identity politics on the Left. None of this augurs well for her post-2008 presidential prospects - whoever wins in November.
(Via The Corner) The Democrats have tried for years to win by appealing to identity politics to win, but they now seem to be dividing the party.

Uh considering Obama supporters have no problem broadly painting Hillary supporters as racists, that will also leave a stain and it is still a major obstacle in getting our support. Maybe that was the reason for some to vote against him, but it was not the reason for the mass of the supporters

Well, if you live by identity politics, you die by identity politics.
Nice going Hill & Bill. You have just made yourselves “irrelevant” to the MSM and the DNC. Not to mention the fact that you have now allowed snObama to control the content of the debate, i.e. vote for me or be branded a racist.

All people are bigoted so why shouldn’t some of them be in the democratic party. The 27% of Hillary supporters, who polls show will vote for McCain, have obviously decided the a white woman(OMG!) and a white republican(OMG!) are both lesser evils than a black (OMG!) democrat.
