If Obama wins the Democratic nomination, how can the country take him serious, given the fact that he has recieved the largest pass is US history. The media, elected officials, his "followers", etc. All have turned a blind eye to a fair campaign.
The below is part of an internet story comparing the passes Obama has received with the unfair attacks on Hillary. So true and so sad. Obama will never "truely" be the President, even if he does win the race.


"Goodbye to a campaign where he [Obama] has to pass as white (which whites - especially wealthy ones - adore)," Morgan wrote, "while she has to pass as male (which both men and women demanded of her, and then found unforgivable)".

She also bade farewell to today's double standard: "When a sexist idiot screamed "Iron my shirt!" at HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton] - if some racist idiot had called "shine my shoes" at BO [Barack Obama], it would've inspired hours of airtime and pages of newsprint analysing our national dishonour."

Morgan noted that when John McCain was asked "How do we beat the *****?" he replied: "Excellent question!" She wondered whether he would have given the same answer if the question had been: "How do we beat the black bastard?"

"Why is it that the 'C' word is everywhere?" one young woman said to me this week. "Yet the 'N' word would not be tolerated."

Roger Stone, a long-time Republican operative, has formed a tax-exempt anti-Clinton political group called Citizens United Not Timid. Google "I hate Hillary" and you are introduced to a blogosphere that seethes with vile and vituperative Hillary detestation, where the C-word is actually the least of it. The threats to her life are frequent, alarming and way beyond any usual political jousting.

But Google "I hate Obama" and you will find content removed from most sites because they contravene laws that ban racial vilification.

Probably because he stands a good chance of being the first president in about 20 years to win an undisputed majority of the vote. That's for starters. Lots of folks seem to genuinely like and trust him, too. That might count for something.

Nonsense. I googled the phrase just now, there is plenty of Obama hate on the web, and plenty of Hillary, Bush, (insert name of politician here) haterade out there. If you are going to make up lies, at least make one up that isn't so easily debunked.

How about a link or two to read the full article or articles you are referring to inasmuch as I found none that makes your text?

Hillary supporters are really getting desperate now that their "inevitable" candidate is now losing.
