Dumb White Voters: Racism in Klinton Kuntry

Wow. This article from the Washington Post both shocks and fails to surprise. The level of retrograde, troglodyte idiocy in Indiana is truly astounding. I thought West Virginia (gaaaaaay) had taken the cake, but Indiana leaves the cake of that "wild and wonderful" state out in the rain:
In Muncie, a factory town in the east-central part of Indiana, Ross and her cohorts were soliciting support for Obama at malls, on street corners and in a Wal-Mart parking lot, and they ran into "a horrible response," as Ross put it, a level of anti-black sentiment that none of them had anticipated. "The first person I encountered was like, 'I'll never vote for a black person,' " recalled Ross, who is white and just turned 20. "People just weren't receptive."
But it gets way worse:
Victoria Switzer, a retired social studies teacher, was on phone-bank duty one night during the Pennsylvania primary campaign. One night was all she could take: "It wasn't pretty." She made 60 calls to prospective voters in Susquehanna County, her home county, which is 98 percent white. The responses were dispiriting. One caller, Switzer remembers, said he couldn't possibly vote for Obama and concluded: "Hang that darky from a tree!"
Documentary filmmaker Rory Kennedy, the daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, said she, too, came across "a lot of racism" when campaigning for Obama in Pennsylvania. One Pittsburgh union organizer told her he would not vote for Obama because he is black, and a white voter, she said, offered this frank reason for not backing Obama: "White people look out for white people, and black people look out for black people."
And then there’s this:
On Election Day in Kokomo, a group of black high school students were holding up Obama signs along U.S. 31, a major thoroughfare. As drivers cruised by, a number of them rolled down their windows and yelled out a common racial slur for African Americans, according to Obama campaign staffers. Frederick Murrell, a black Kokomo High School senior, was not there but heard what happened. He was more disappointed than surprised. During his own canvassing for Obama, Murrell said, he had "a lot of doors slammed" in his face. But taunting teenagers on a busy commercial strip in broad daylight? "I was very shocked at first," Murrell said. "Then again, I wasn't, because we have a lot of racism here."
And it goes on and on. Here’s some choice words from a CIVIC OFFICIAL in Pennsylvania, that other great “Clinton” state in which Billary (worth $109 Million) tried their darndest to stir up class and racial resentment:
In a letter to the editor published in a local paper, Tunkhannock Borough Mayor Norm Ball explained his support of Hillary Clinton this way: "Barack Hussein Obama and all of his talk will do nothing for our country. There is so much that people don't know about his upbringing in the Muslim world. His stepfather was a radical Muslim and the ranting of his minister against the white America, you can't convince me that some of that didn't rub off on him. No, I want a president that will salute our flag, and put their hand on the Bible when they take the oath of office."
Here is the address, phone number, and email address of balless Norm Ball. Write him:
Tunkhannock Borough
126 Warren Street
Tunkhannock PA 18657
(570) 836-1548

Or -- NEW!!! -- use the online form here and let him personally know that you donate to GOLDBLACKDEVILHUSSEINHEAD and will "fight" to the very bitter end for Dalton Hatfield to get his bike and X-box back from the clutches of the MONSTER. (Psssssst, make sure to attend the rally for Dalton next Saturday; location, t.b.a., but word on the street is that it's to be held at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.) You can even send him this form letter (just copy it directly into the text field using your mouse cursor ma gig):
Dear Mister Norman Bates I mean Ball (Get it? “Ball”?),

I am an Elite Member (Verified) of GOLDBLACKDEVILHUSSEINHEAD. I am writing to demand that you immediately resign from the position of Mayor upon receipt of this letter. I give money to GOLDBLACKDEVILHUSSEINHEAD and have been told that you are stupid. Stop leaving messages on my answering machine you fatso.

Thank you,

Finally, like Josh (gaaaaaay) from the previous post, we have this denier:
Aaron Roe, 23, was mowing lawns at a local cemetery recently, lamenting his $8-an-hour job with no benefits. He had earned a community college degree as an industrial electrician, but learned there was no electrical work to be found for someone with his experience, which is to say none. Politics wasn't on his mind; frustration was. If he were to vote, it would not be for Obama, he said. "I just got a funny feeling about him," Roe said, a feeling he couldn't specify, except to say race wasn't a part of it. "Race ain't nothing," said Roe, who is white. "It's how they're going to help the country."
It’s still cool that Obama nearly took Indiana -- clearly, not with the help of these morons. What a great big tent you got there, Hillary Clinton. Or are you just happy to see me?
