One of the more thoughtful, less emotional posters to an Obama Campaign EMail list service today suggested Hillary is behaving like a terrorist. My response was, " I do not think it wise or fair to draw a parallel between Hillary and terrorists. I will say, having proof she is now blatantly resorting to playing the race card as we are hearing with her own voice this morning... she has lost all political capital she had to become the nominee or decide a splinter of what goes into the Democratic platform this year.

THAT PLAYING OF THE RACE CARD ALONE is sufficient grounds to cut off her and anyone who stands beside her. Who the hell is she to tell me, MY choice for the U.S. Presidency can not be elected because he can not represent White people?!?!?! She has lost any sense of decency - trying to plunge a deep knife into the collective psyche of the American people... gouging a deep and harmful schism among voters for ONLY her political benefit without an ounce of regard for the painful - long term - consequences she leaves behind in her wake.

How can any politician with even the tiniest conscience intentionally feed this hateful streak of bigotry that gave us those who donned white capes and robes to hide their identities to threaten, subjugate, and kill people of a skin color different than their own? She obviously does NOT give a damn that she is drawing an ever growing line between the racists hate mongers in our country... and all the decent loving American people building bridges and trying to bring EVERYONE into the tent where we all want to live - in peace. It is so appallingly shameful, I am in tears. My heart is beating erratically and my blood pressure zooming up and down.

I must go sit in a dark closet and meditate for a while. I hesitate to say this, but Hillary has just proven her claim to being color blind is nothing but a charade. And the idea of a person like this getting so close to the U.S. Presidency scares me. Yes, I am terrified about returning to the segregated world I saw as a young boy. And I apologize in advance for letting this thought cross my mind... but maybe there is some validity in putting Hillary and terrorists on the same plane when both trap us in fear to reach their goals. Putting someone in charge of a country who might be a racist terrorizes me. My head pounds, ears ring, and I feel dizzy. Will go lay down... and finish this after I recapture the calmness I need.

I have my wits back... and funky body behaving again.

This woman is a malignant parasite. It is time, the people who support Senator Obama move forward - even if the Democratic party will not - leave her and her delusional world behind. She is a heavy weight that only wants to draw us lower into the mud pit where she wants to fight. No Barack... do not accept a challenge to meet her in debate. Ignore her. Do not let her dementia rob you of the focus you need. She has NOTHING to offer your campaign. You also do not need her supporters if they will threaten to vote McCain if she is not nominated. Let them go, concentrate your energies on Republicans able to recognize - YOU offer what no one else can or will do: Restore our faltering misguided economy after disentangling us from that quagmire in Iraq. You are our best hope. For our wonderful country. For our awesome world, albeit teetering on the edge of disaster... financially, militarily, ecologically,and so many other ways.

Calling all Superdelegates: Isn't Hillary proving she is a closet racist enough to go public with your intentions to support Obama? Let's end this stalling and start the healing. For those who still urge waiting, please stop believing she has earned the delay to prove something. Prove what? I'd say what she proved today makes it clear she does not deserve another second of consideration. To expand the idea offered by another Hoosier, David Letterman, last night: HRC claimed her final victory this week, claiming the Great State of Denial. I say that combined with the race card earns her a LOSS of all her Superdelegates.
