Everyone knows that there is racial tension in LA between Blacks and Latinos. Both traditionally lower-class groups have been pitted against each other to fight over whatever scraps the wealthy decide to throw down to them. As economic conditions worsen, tensions between these scapegoat groups increases.
Not only does Hillary Clinton represent the elites which have disenfranchised both Blacks and Latinos, but she and her husband have been unapologetically using this “divide and conquer” strategy to gain the Latino vote. This kind of disgusting strategy appeals to the worst in people.
Rachel also states that she’s “personally offended” by Hillary lying about her Iraq War vote in the video below. Rather than apologize to the million plus people that have died as a result of her vote, Hillary would rather claim that she was dumb enough to be tricked by George W Bush.
It’s beyond infuriating that a populace which has been craving real change for 8 years should now only have the choice between pro-war candidates in the next election. If that’s not enough of a clue that our presidents are picked for us, I don’t know what is. Unfortunately, it’s people like Olbermann that are to blame for remaining silent when it was clear that the corporation he works for, along with others, were creating this Obama vs Hillary scenario from the start.

Yes, and Ann Coulter certainly picked up on this when backing Senator Clinton.
Strange bedfellows, indeed.

Every thinking person knows that Hillary is a dirty scumbag. But what about Obama? What’s the dirt on him? You keep saying you’ll only vote green, but I’ve yet to see a good reason not to vote for Obama. So far, his sh*t seems clean. Where’s the dirt?

@Andy
“I’ve yet to see a good reason not to vote for Obama.”
Because his platform is nearly identical to Hillary’s. Nobody denies that Obama is a better person with little if any dirt. That’s not the point. In fact, the only reason we’re talking about Hillary’s tarnished past in contrast to Obama’s relatively clean past is because that’s the only area where there is any real difference. I’m voting for a change in the system, not simply a change in its figurehead.

Kind of off the sbject. Let’s surmise, based upon documented facts, that the “3am call” does come….Hillary has been getting phone calls, for Bill, from young girls wanting to take care of Bills’ “cigar” all night long. Might the call that really mattered, re the “end of time,” be responded to by Hillary with a “go fuck yourself…don’t ever call here again or ‘Travelgate, etc.’ will seem as child play when I get done with you! Did you forget the Vince Foster, etc., experience?” Both clintons are absolute scum…have you forgot the past? Or are you looking to benefit from each individuals’ or their collective (birds of a feather….) character?
