HARRISBURG, Pa. - Gov. Ed Rendell, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton's most visible supporters, said some white Pennsylvanians are likely to vote against her rival Barack Obama because he is black.

They have been using this tactic all along. They are in fact racist and that doesn’t mean they like NASCAR.
Spendell is a bloated communist. The democrap stooges in my state would vote for anyone as long as they were an America hating liberal.
Is rascism bad?
Seems more of a problem with bigotry than racism.
“This is truly outrageous. A longtime Clinton loyalist, in a key remaining primary state, floats the idea that Obama is perhaps unelectible due to his race”
The Klinton Machine Back To Work Again, With Another Klinton Sycophant.
This should be the end of Klinton and Ko. Now we focus on the vapid magic negro. Oh wait, is that racist too?
Is it just me us does not almost every alternative and main stream article today just frickin bleed racism and feminism? I want a CIC I dont want a black or a woman or an old white guy,I want a CIC!!
Bloated is too kind. Have you seen how fat this tax and spend jerk is. If any Republican had said what this clown said he would be an ex Governor.
Rendell thinks this is why he defeated Swann in the last election.
The entire democrat machine is suffering from thought disease. The sickness shows itself after decades of obsolete ideas which divide the country into groups like black women, single moms, soccer moms, angry males, jews from heimi-town, NASCAR hillbillies, etc......In the end democrat dinosaurs ended up pissing them all off by keeping the chattle segregated.
"You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate," Haley Barbour told Fox News in remarks that were repeated on Rush Limbaugh's show.
The Reverend(s) Jackson and Sharpton would be in full court ambulance mode...
I have heard it repeated at least 3 times on tv since it was reported.
Funny how they are trying to lay blame to this kind of behavior to conservatives when it was said by a liberal.
Quick everyone........Check under all your trash cans. James Carville has gotta be wearing one of them somewhere.
I’m watching Princeton / Penn basketball on the tube. Earlier in the game, the cameras showed Rendell in attendance sitting by & chatting with Fox pollster Frank Luntz. Both were seriously chowing down on nachos & hotdogs.
I’ve sat immediately in front of Eddie at several games at the Palestra. He eats like a champ, and really used to work the refs. To his credit he is no “John Kerry sports fan”; he really knows the game. I took my son and daughter one night, and when we left I asked if they had had a good time. My 10 year daughter said “yeah, but who was that jerk sitting behind us.” I told her it was the Mayor of Philadelphia, Ed Rendell.
It sure would explain the most brillant politican in the world's tactics of late.
If Hillary goes down hard in this campaign, look for the bodies to start stacking up again like cordwood. They both will leave the country in exchange for an informal agreement not to prosecute them for a lifetime of grifting first Arkansas and then the nation. Witness lists are long and plentiful. The ones who don’t drink the Kool-Aide will get a visit from Mr.Shush! in the middle of the unexpected hour of their departure.
Reports on one of the other threads say that another Clinton campaign official has jumped ship.
That’s a great point, and how about this gem from the spokesman:
“He wasn’t being critical, he wasn’t making accusations, but just being realistic.”
How could saying people aren’t ready to vote for a black candidate not be critical? If Eddie is not criticizing that behavior is he condoning it? I mean, I know we live in an era of soundbytes and drive-by journalism—but do these people even think about what they write?
Rendell’s OVERT rascism.......there, fixed it!
Nothing subtle about Rendell’s racism at all.
It’s fun to bash Rendell and Hillary and they deserve it, but Fast Eddie actually has a point.
I grew up in SW PA and go back regularly. That part of the state, in my opinion, does have more than its fair share of racists. Of course those bigots have never voted for a Republican in their lives. There may be exploding heads at the polling places when they try to vote for a black democrat.
My PA governor is an embarrassment. But the sheeple keep voting for him.
We need to stop calling leftist racism “subtle”, “soft” or “reverse.” It’s just plain racism, and that label needs to be shouted from the rooftops.
