NOTE FROM JOHN: I’m not sure I’d have compared her language to the Klan – but then again, I’m not black, so I don’t presume to be as sensitive to the nuances of racism as I am to homophobia, for example. But, I do hear a lot of David Duke. I mean, “white Americans”? The more I think about the phrase, the more I really can’t come up with a situation in which I would ever use it. White people, sure. But white Americans? That sounds like David Duke’s phrase “European Americans.” It’s just not a phrase the non-racists use. Then again, every time Hillary moves into a new state, she picks the one right-wing issue to embrace that she thinks will help with that state. In North Carolina it was homophobia (pansy, etc.). In Pennsylvania she became Annie Oakley. And now with West Virginia, she embracing racism. It’s like Hillary’s own perverted rainbow coalition of homophobes, NRA members, and racists. I think this speaks volumes to what Hillary sees when she sees rural America, southern America,and the midwest. To her we’re all rednecks.
