Clinton's Racial Fear-Based Strategy

The Clinton campaign has clearly shifted its campaign to play on racial fears in a way so blatant and damaging that it could have lasting negative effects for the Democratic Party. This type of racial fear-based campaign has not typically been seen from Democratic campaigns in decades, and will only further divide the populations that real Democrats have worked so diligently to unite in recent years. It appears that Hillary is so hell bent on being the nominee that would destroy the party in the process and eliminate even her own chances of winning the general election. I am sadly dissapointed in her campaign's tactics and can no longer honestly say that such deceitful practices are mainly Republican campaign strategies. Her campaign's (and the main stream media's) obsession with Obama's former pastor has had no other real effect other than playing on the less-educated white people:

"Regardless, Clinton appeared to be gaining strength among voters, especially the white working-class which has reacted negatively to Obama's association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright — the Illinois senator's former pastor who called from the pulpit for God to damn America for it's treatment of African Americans.

Reflecting that shift, a poll released Thursday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press showed Clinton's lead over Obama nationally among whites who did not attend college had increased from 10 points in March to 40 points at the end of April."
