Racist Pennsylvania DEMOCRATS!
Before we get to the racism being practiced by Pennsylvania Democrats, I need to square some recent predictions I made.
On October 8, I predicted the Los Angeles Dodgers would defeat the Philadelphia Phillies in 6 games. Philly won in 5.
Also, on October 8, I predicted the Boston Red Sox would defeat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 6. Tampa won in . . . what? . . . Boston came back and won game 5? Okay, I can still at least pick the winner in that series.
Finally, on October 8, I predicted Sen. McCain would still win the Oval by an Electoral Vote count of 274 – 264. I give you a comment by Mr. Karl Rove, the Architect, from the Wall Street Journal on October 16 (a full 8 days later), “Mr. McCain's other adjustment is his schedule. His campaign understands the dire circumstances it faces and is narrowing his travels almost exclusively to Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Missouri, Colorado and Nevada. If he carries those states, while losing only Iowa and New Mexico from the GOP's 2004 total, Mr. McCain will carry 274 Electoral College votes and the White House. It's threading the needle, but it's come to that.”
Now to the hate harbored by Pennsylvania Democrats.
Within the last week, U.S. military slanderer Rep. Jack Murtha (D, PA) had this to say about the people who elected him to the United States House of Representatives, “There's no question western Pennsylvania is a racist area.”
Same as the coward Sen. John F. Kerry “apologized” when he called U.S. troops stupid, that is, through a press release rather than standing before a microphone and reporters, Rep. Murtha issued this asinine apology, “I apologize for making the comment that 'Western Pennsylvania is a racist area.’"
Note that Rep. Murtha did not retract his claim that there is “no question that western Pennsylvania is a racist area”. He only apologized for making the comment. He apologized for saying out loud what he truly believes.
This is no different than the belief of the Democratic governor of the state of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell, who said this in advance of the Democratic primary earlier this year (Blogger’s Note: Democrats vote in Democratic primaries), “You’ve got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate.”
I have not seen the news yet today so I don’t know that Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin have not been in Pennsylvania all day but they damn well should have been. And, they should be there tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. Rep. Murtha’s hateful statement and ridiculous cowardly apology are enough to turn that state red . . . and who knows how many others.
Instead of asking you to go to my last four extremely relevant posts on this subject, I simply cut and paste them here. Read as much as you want, skip it all, your choice.
If Gov. Rendell and Rep. Murtha know their constituents as well as they must, I guess I’ve had this thing nailed since May 14, 2008.

Racist Democrats to Select Next President
The letter I submitted to the Boston Globe today:
Editor,
So, Clinton supporter Susan Kincaid of West Virginia thinks Sen. Clinton "has a better chance in November than (Sen.) Obama. I think there's still a lot of racism in this country and I think that would hinder him" (W. Va. Clinton fans want her to stay and fight, May 14, A8).
The exit polls in Ms. Kincaid's beloved West Virginia show her state's white Democrats picked Sen. Clinton 74% of the time. I'm sure Ms. Kincaid does not think any of her white Democratic friends are racists; surely they all have perfectly good explanations for why they prefer the white candidate.
Exit polls in some earlier Democratic primaries show blacks picking Sen. Obama more than 90% of the time.News flash to Ms. Kincaid and other in-denial Democrats: there are racists in the Democratic Party. (End of letter.)
Sen. John McCain will be the next President of the United States of America. And, part of the reason will be because Ms. Kincaid is correct, "there's still a lot of racism in this country". Little does she know how much a part of it she and her Democratic friends are.
Hopefully the realization that there are Democratic racists and black racists will be the catalyst for an honest discussion of race relations in this country.

Racist Democrats Will Elect Next President II
On May 14, 2008, I first addressed the blatant racism of white Democrats (black Democrats appear to be as racist as the whites but they won’t be electing the next President, so they are not discussed here further). I did not go into depth on my thoughts on May 14, so I go just a little further now.
There is no discernable difference in the policy positions of Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama. None. I read about 2 hours of newspaper, magazine and on-line political stories a day. With this level of exposure, I cannot describe or explain one policy difference between the two. I think true policy wonks can see some daylight between the two Senators’ nationalized health care programs (Sen. Obama, apparently, enamored with the lines sick people face in his beloved Canada). I’m skeptical that even 1,000 of the 30 million people who voted in Democratic primaries can explain a policy difference between the two. If a supporter of either reads this post and can explain a difference, it would be most welcome.
So, what divided the Democrats? Race. No, ifs, ands or buts about it. White, non-college educated Democrats did not vote for Sen. Clinton because of sexism or a perceived policy position difference.
In the lead up to the general election, the liberal extremists who dominate the media will try to portray the Republicans as the racists but this is will be a massive, despicable lie. The filth will not help the healing process and will only further fan the flames of race relations in this Country.
White, and most Black, Republicans will support Sen. John McCain precisely because of policy differences between Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama.
I’m not going to list all the differences between the two here because it will read like an RNC talking points memo and I don't get my thoughts from the RNC but let me certainly highlight continuing the surge success in Iraq versus not, extending the Bush tax cuts or not, and appointing another Roberts to the United States Supreme Court versus appointing President Bill Clinton or Sen. Hillary Clinton.
White and Black Republicans will vote for Sen. John McCain on policy. Imagine the converse, a Republican disavowing his or her policy beliefs to vote for Sen. Obama because he is black. THAT would be an indication the Republican practices racism and may be a racist.
I’m not going to deny there are racist Republicans. Of course there are. Some will even mask their racism by hiding behind bona fide policy differences to substantiate their support for Sen. McCain. But, these racists will still be voting their policy beliefs.
Many white Democrats will vote for Sen. John McCain because they are racists. These white racist Democrats will subordinate their political beliefs to their racism. These white racist Democrats, in what may be a very close election, will elect the next President.
This post does not tell a happy story. As pleased as I will be that Sen. McCain will be our next President, that racist Democrats will elect him is an ugly and distasteful truth.

Biden, Patriotism, and Pennsylvania
No one questions the patriotism of Sen. Joseph Biden so Sen. Barack Obama has that going for him.
When the week is dominated by Sen. Obama defending his patriotism and his supporters doing the same then Sen. John McCain has had a great week.
Again I've taken to reading the pathetic Philadelphia Inquirer. Yesterday the analysis article on the front page mentioned the "white middle-class" folks that Sen. Clinton appealed to and who Sen. Obama hopes that Sen. Biden might appeal to, especially in the state of Pennsylvania.
As we all know, because we are not idiots, the "white middle-class" folks who voted for Sen. Clinton over Sen. Obama during the Democratic primaries were all Democrats.
I don't know what their problem with Sen. Obama is, maybe some of the liberal extremists who control the media should ask these Democrats what they are thinking when they're voting against Sen. Obama.

The Great Denial
My letter to the Boston Globe yesterday; yes, it's a repeating theme but the liberal extremists who control the media don't get it and will probably never get it but it doesn't stop me from trying; I copied several correspondents and columnists who are also in denial:
Editor,
Scott Helman perpetuates the Great Denial of Democrats when he writes, "Senator Barack Obama . . . is targeting one of his biggest weaknesses: his standing with white, blue-collar voters (Citing grim jobs report, Obama reaches out to blue collar voters, September 6, A1)."
As everyone learned from the Democratic Party primaries, Sen. Obama was widely rejected by white, blue-collar, Democratic (and to a lesser extent, Independent) voters.
To lump Republican voters who probably disagree with Sen. Obama on just about every policy position with Democratic voters who voted along racial lines between two Democratic candidates (Sens. Clinton and Obama) with nearly identical policy positions is the Great Lie underlying the Great Denial.
There are no doubt many racist Democrats, some of the whites voting against Sen. Obama because of his skin color and some of the blacks voting for him for the same reason, and race relations are not improved in this country when the liberal extremists who control the media deny this fact.
Problems denied cannot be easily fixed (End of letter.).
Before we get to the racism being practiced by Pennsylvania Democrats, I need to square some recent predictions I made.
On October 8, I predicted the Los Angeles Dodgers would defeat the Philadelphia Phillies in 6 games. Philly won in 5.

If McCain and Palin aren't spending any time in Pennsylvania, where are Arlen Specter and Tom Ridge then? Why haven't we seen Romney in Michigan? Crist in FL? Do they all secretly hate McCain or have they given up before they ever began??? Rendell and Casey sure have been busy pulling for their guy. I guess the only one McCain can really count on these days is Joe Lieberman. Oh,and Joe the plumber.
Anonymous,
Great questions. I have not seen hide nor hair of any of those guys but then I live in Massachusetts.
If Specter, Ridge, Crist and Romney are making appearances in their respective states, I hope it is being well-covered by the local media.
zacklyright,
Are PA democrats racist or not? You seem to argue they are not early in your post by calling Murtha's comments hateful but then you reproduce four posts suggesting more than just the white PA democrats are racist. Please clarify.
Anonymous,
There are white racists. There are black racists. There are Republican racists. AND, though you won't read it any liberal publication or hear it on any liberal news program, there are white, Democratic racists.
I do not know if white Democrats are more or less racist (by percentage to total) than any other demographic. I do think white racist Democrats and a bunch of non-racist Pennsylvanians will hand Penn's 21 Electoral Votes to Sen. John McCain.
I think a bunch of non-racist white Democrats in western Pennsylvania will kick Rep. Jack Murtha out of office.
