The Hillary campaign, the race card, and yet more hypocrisy

The surrogates in Hillary's campaign are getting more delusional as they get more desperate.

As reported at TPM Election Central, one of Hillary's biggest fundraisers, Lanny Davis, went on Joe Scarborough's MSNBC show yesterday, and he said that "it's very hard to criticize Senator Obama without being accused of playing the race card[.]"

For those who do not see why this claim is utter and complete hypocritical chickenshit, let me explain. It is damn near impossible to criticize or question anything that Hillary does or says without being accused of being sexist and misogynistic. Hillary and all her supporters have played the gender card so many times and in so many ways it makes me puke. And by the way, Lanny, feel free to give any examples of Obama or any of his surrogates playing the race card whenever Obama is criticized. And while you are thinking about that, don't forget that Hillary and Bill are the ones that injected race into this campaign (with their MLK and Jesse Jackson comments), and Hillary brought up race as a dismissive reason why Obama did so well in Louisiana ("These are caucus states by and large, or in the case of Louisiana, you know, a very strong and very proud African-American electorate, which I totally respect and understand.").

And then, Lanny, feel free to explain why it is that Hillary her ownself and her supporters--like you, Lanny--are the first ones to play the gender card.

There is no limit to the amount of hypocrisy in which Hillary and her campaign will engage in order to win.
