Why Does Obama Hate White Voters?

God forgive me for linking to the Huffington Post. But even a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day. Sean Wilentz lays it out.
In every presidential election they have won, the Democrats have solidified their historic link to white workers, not dismissed them. Obama and the champions of a new party coalition appear to think that everything has suddenly changed, simply because of the force of their own desires. In any event, Obama had shown no ability thus far to attract the one constituency that has always spelled the difference between victory and defeat for the Democratic Party.


Obama intends change indeed. He intends to destroy the historic underpinnings of the Democratic Party.

Having attempted, with the aid of a complicit news media, to brand Hillary Clinton as a racist- by flinging charges that, as the historian Michael Lind has shown, belong "in black helicopter/grassy knoll territory," Obama's supporters now fiercely claim that Clinton's white working class following is also essentially racist.

The Obama advocates declare that we have entered an entirely new political era. It is not only possible but also desirable, they say, for Democrats to win by turning away from those whom "progressive" pundits and bloggers disdain variously as "Nascar man," "uneducated," "low information" whites, "rubes, fools, and hate-mongers"who live in the nation's "shitholes."

Let me add as a Progressive: Obama's campaign is anti-liberal. It is racist in tone and deed. Should Obama succeed in forcing his will on the party there will be no reason for me and millions of others to remain Democrats.

My mantra remains: The fundamental force animating Obama's campaign is not Hope and Change. It is Resentment and Anger.

Now I must go shower off after spending a few minutes at the Huff Post.
