When HRC Says Obama's "Unelectable," She Really Means Black

Hillary Clinton is saying that Barack Obama is unelectable because he's black without actually saying it. I'm not saying she's prejudiced here -- just dirty. She's preying on the fact that some Americans are prejudiced, either consciously or subconsciously. Here's an excerpt from a Town Hall piece that examines the subject, even going as far as to say she slipped in an incognito racial slur:
Last Sunday evening on Fox News Channel, [political analyst Dick] Morris said: “I think that what she is going to do is she is going to say Obama is unelectable, Americans won’t elect him, he can’t beat the Republican Party, America is not ready for Obama, he doesn’t have the experience to win, and what she is going to mean is that they won’t vote for an African-American, but she won’t say it. She’ll say everything but, but that’s what she means.”

As if on cue, THE VERY NEXT MORNING, Sen. Clinton appeared on NBC’s Today Show and talked about the choice that voters were faced with in New Hampshire. She said the following: “When they say to themselves, OK, I have a choice between a truly inspirational speaker (Obama) who has not done the kind of spade work with the sort of experience that another candidate has…”

Spade work. That’s some choice of words for a black political opponent, no?
