HuffPost Disses Pro-Hillary White Men
A picture is worth a thousand words
On the day Sen. Hillary Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary, Thomas B. Edsall, the political editor Huffington Post, wrote an article on the emergence of white men as a crucial voting block in the 2008 presidential election. How did the Pro-Obama website depict this voting block? Just look above.
Now perhaps it doesn’t mean anything, but it certainly seems to play into the elitist argument some have begun to making against the Illinois senator, compounding Obama’s controversial quote in San Francisco:
“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them.And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.”
“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
I love the Huffington Post (*hugs*), but images like these don’t help.
