On Politico.com, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II (D-Mo.), a superdelegate who has supported Clinton, is quoted as saying, “African-American superdelegates are being targeted, harassed and threatened1.” Cleaver said black superdelegates are receiving “nasty letters, phone calls, threats they’ll get an opponent, being called an Uncle Tom.” He continued by saying, “This is the politics of the 1950s, a lot of members are experiencing a lot of ugly stuff. They’re not going to talk about it, but it’s happening.”
This is quite an immature and inexperienced way to win over superdelgates’ support. If our country is so beyond race, what is the issue? How does ‘Unlce Tom’ come up? Maybe our country though is not beyond race, at least not past it enough that Obama attempts to shun those who support whites. Truthfully, this should make voters weary of Obama. If he wins the nomination, will he always need to vote in favor of blacks even if it’s questionably good for the country? Maybe the people are blind to color, but is Obama, or is he going to play the ‘black card’ to take care of business in the White House? These harassment allegations are not to be taken lightly, and should concern voters of the nature of reverse-racism.

It’s a lie. Obama’s been using truth while Hillary’s been on the attack. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that her own troops are doing this to her superdelegate supporters. Her operatives have done smears like this in the past and they continue until caught and are forced to be fired or denounced.
I have no doubt that people are being rude when they are upset. It is not wise to be rude to people you are trying to get to be on your side.
But let’s not confuse the views of private citizens who have nothing to do with Obama’s campaign with Obama himself.
This is nonsense. These harassment allegations are undoubtedly true but Obama’s campaign has SPECIFICALLY requested that his supporters NOT CONTACT superdelegates. Hence, this article is BS.
Well i guess we now know why Hillary supported NAFTA…it’s all in the genes..the Canadian genes….Also explains the 5 minute long mispeaking session that she had recently. She’s got the genes to ‘create lyrics’ with the best of ‘em….Celine, Alanis, Madonna….literally the best of ‘em! If they dig deep enough they’ll find she’s also related to Pinocchio…
