Obama Has Outrun The Lynch Mob

Posted by Nicholas Joseph on 05.07.2008

Despite Rev. Wright and all the nastiness from the right wing nuts, Obama has almost obliterated Hillary Clinton from the nomination contest.

It is difficult to imagine that Hillary Clinton will not fold her tent after Indiana and North Carolina. A mountain of evidence has demonstrated that there is nothing in Senator Clinton's DNA that represents any measure of respectability and basic commonsense. On the contrary, there is ample reason to believe that the Clintons have a vested, and some may argue, diabolical interest in taking this mud slinging all the way to the Denver Convention.

Folks, let us not pretend that Senator Hillary Clinton is speaking an iota of truth when she says that after the nomination process she will do all in her power to ensure "one of us takes the oath of office in January." She is pugnaciously arrogant and ambitious enough to think that she is speaking of herself and not Obama. What she really means is that "I will get nasty and dirty enough to ensure that Obama does not rid me of my birthright." Anyone who thinks that Hillary will lift a finger to get Obama elected to anything must have inhaled her lying Bosnia "sniper fire" smoke. Unlike, former President Clinton, they certainly would have taken in the fumes.

This audacious primary season has made it abundantly clear that the Clintons will do, say and believe in anything humanly possible to get back to the Whitehouse. It is frightening to contemplate that Hillary Clinton is prepared to form an alliance with the "vast right-wing conspirators," with the self-serving goal of winning the nomination and a shot at becoming the historic first female president. It is for parading on that world stage, which forced the New York Senator to abandon all principles. Who would think that in our lifetime, Rush Limbaugh, the high priest of conservative talk, and Hillary Clinton would find something in common? Forget, the trivial yapping of crushes and Bill Clinton hitting on his lady. Hillary and Rush have found a common cause and let us be frank and honest about it, they want the destruction of the Obama campaign. Obviously, they have different reasons but ultimately they have a common enemy who is Barack Obama.

It is not coincidental that at every stage of the contest, the established media has attempted to diminish and demean the tremendous strides and gains of the Obama campaign. When Obama announced his candidacy, the Clinton camp, as well as, the press did not give him a snowball's chance from hell. There was a very dismissive tone and tenor about it. They misjudged the mood of the voters and have sought consistently to insult the intelligence of the American people, white, black and Latino by telling them how to vote. When it was clear that Obama had become a formidable contender winning in states, which Democrats had never before found favor did the media come to terms with the reality.

Contrary to conservative talk that the media has given Obama a free ride, no other candidate has had to deal with so many media generated crises. Even when he speaks the truth, they have taken it completely out of context and looped it daily for maximum effect. For Obama, even going to church has been defined and redefined as something shameful and sinful. Hypocritically, those same individuals who have turned on his church have used religion as a wedge issue in successive election cycles. They praised Bush for being a Christian and gave him credit for using white churches to build what they described as a "new majority."

With the analysts quick to place convenient reasoning ahead of logic and accuracy, they are forgetting that Hillary Clinton started this campaign as the blessed child. By all accounts, she had the nomination sealed and delivered even before a single vote was cast. It was her nomination to win. After all she had name recognition, a network of support and a hawkish and callous political machinery. Simply put it was supposed to be a coronation. But the state of the game changed when it was clear that Obama had established a massive grassroots structure with a populist message. He was raising more money, winning more states, gaining more delegates and was ahead in the popular votes.

As soon as Obama became the frontrunner all hell broke lose and the Clinton's found favor with a willing and cajoling right wing. The lynch mob went into high gear against Obama. They played on the fear of the American people. They tried the tired and worn out race-baiting tactic. They used his associations to tag him as unpatriotic. They repeated over and over the silly notion and completely ridiculous mantra that he was not electable. They completely ignored the fact that he was winning in all major categories of the nomination process. Absurd.

Despite Rev. Wright and all the nastiness from the right wing nuts, Obama has almost obliterated Hillary Clinton from the nomination contest.

Like a warrior, Obama has met every challenge. He has faced every obstacle with relentless determination. He has boldly and courageously overcome the nuclear attacks and he has rebounded from the lynch mob's deadly pursuit. His massive victory in North Carolina has catapulted him to the foot of the presidential throne.
