Playing her sinister role it to the hilt, Ferraro, channeling Angela Lansbury, staggered on stage, costumed as a victim, and on cue, feigned in a broken voice, "I'm hurt, I'm hurt."

At the end, Keith and Rachel Maddow choke back tears, devastated by the depravity of Hillary's campaign.
MADDOW: "For anybody to be saying that Barack Obama is only where he is because he is black, that black men are so privileged in America, that that‘s the only thing that explains his success, because he‘s otherwise unqualified is absolutely offensive!"
OLBERMANN: "Yes, if we heard this from Robert Novak, if we heard this from Glen Beck, if we heard this from Bill O‘Reilly, we‘d be appalled. I don‘t think we‘d necessarily hear it from some of them."

Here, Keith is STUNNNED beyond belief, when he realizes, LIVE, on-the-air, the Clintons are up to their eye-balls in gutter politics.
"So, Senator Clinton wants a racist, clearly equal opportunity is not a good thing, and that‘s the only reason he‘s here, kind of statement interjected into the campaign?!"
"This reaction, right now, is intentional?!" (emphasis original).
You know, only three Blacks have ever been elected to the U.S. Senate:
Ed Brooke, a liberal Republican from Massachusetts, in 1966,
Carol Moseley Braun,
and Barack Obama.
THREE!
This is all about 2012. This has always been about the Clintons - not the country, not the party - but them.
They know they won't win the nomination this year. So they desperately run a scorched earth campaign to elevate McCain and denigrate Obama.
Their only remaining prospect is running against a 76 year old McCain in 2012. To this end, they will say and do anything - including damaging the eventual Democratic nominee, by any means possible.
The Democratic establishment has to wake-the-fuck-up!!
Do they wanna fumble away this golden opportunity? If they don't, then they have to immediately stand up and stamp-out Clinton's polarization.
