“We Know These People”

As long as Mike Kelly is not around, there are my readers:

Look, Yglesias and Marshall are quite busy not readying themselves to own up to the fact that one of their main candidates is using surrogates (in this case, a black surrogate, a fiendishly clever move) to peddle the charge of cocaine use to scare off the white women. Period. That’s what she’s doing.

She’s peddling black stereotypes of the Dangerous Black Man against a guy who lectured at the University of Chicago School of Law, dammit. I graduated from the College at UC, so I know what she’s doing is monstrous.

She can afford to lose some of the chablis and brie crowd, but she can’t let Barack start arguing economic populism and start getting into the working class or the Hispanics.

The Clintons are banking on the fact that Black Voters won’t vote for Romney or Huckabee in November. They’re willing to burn their bridges now, because black voters have nowhere to go. They won’t even vote for McCain.

We knew the Clintons would eventually pull this bullshit because of what Barack would do to their black base: coopt it, then own it. We’re Republicans. We know these people. There is nothing they will not do to regain the Presidency.
