Hillary & Family: YAAAY BEER

Congratulations, Hill. You've done it. You've rallied your support base to win a supremely unimportant primary, proving to everyone that you still need to sit down.

Y'know, a lot of people were offended by her comments that she is supported by white people. I don't think she really wanted to say it though. I listened to the sound byte and she really stumbled while trying to speak around it. I, on the other hand, was deeply perplexed by her willingness to point out that her supporters are basically, dumb hicks.

“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” Hillary said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article “that found how Sen. Obama’s support among [working-class] white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”

True, you don't have to attend college in order to be intelligent. I've met plenty of wise old people who weren't able to attend because of short money. Still, we're talking about West Virginia. Kentucky. Yes, plenty of smarts to go around there! Or maybe it's me who's being elitist now. I'm out of touch.

No, Mrs. Clinton is clearly the one out of touch here. She feels that she has a broader support base from "uneducated whites," yet Obama won more of these whites with Wisconsin, Virginia, Maryland, Oregon, Washington state, Connecticut, Vermont, Iowa, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, North
Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, and Missouri. Oh, I'm sorry. I've misremembered. All of those states are financial centers bustling with people that are college-educated and rich.

Let's get real here. The people in Kentucky and W. Va. vote for Clinton because they're bigots. Any brown person - or white friend of a brown person - knows this. There are plenty of non-collegiate whites across the country and many still voted for Obama, because they're aware of the issues. They know that Hillary's a lying witch who'll do whatever she can to hold on to power. They may also remember how badly she and her other half screwed things up in the 90s.

Clinton's actual base is merely a clot of xenophobes. Take, for instance, Leonard Simpson of Mingo County, West Virginia. He stated in an AP interview that he is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer said he'd vote Republican.

"I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife's an atheist," said Mr. Simpson, drawing on a cigarette.

Is that what Hillary is proud to claim as her base? There's nothing I can even say to punctuate that. These people obviously don't even watch TV, let alone read. Otherwise, they'd've been able to see Obama clearly state on multiple debates that he's Christian - even though religion isn't supposed to have anything to do with our election process. On the other hand, Mr. Simpson hasn't been able to see all the crap about Rev. Wright. The truly sad part, however, is they weren't able to see Hillary freeze when George Stephanopoulos asked her how she'd enforce the mandate that is her "Universal Healtchare Plan." And as I read the article about West Va's upcoming primary, I just wondered how many of the people they talked to had teeth.
