What could be more nonproductive than her whiny poll (or the similar poll started by the giraffe)? If you're not interested in a topic don't friggin' read it. If you don't want to read posts by a poster(s) put them on ignore and STFU or get a friggin' life.

I posted that article early in September, but pulled it because the authenticity couldn't be verified.

September 5, 2008

I pulled this post because I could not verify the authenticity of the information, and while snopes.com did not classify it as a hoax, they also could not verify it. For more info, see this post.

The guy who originally broke that story, which was then picked up by the LA Progressive, with his explanation for how he acquired the info:

Based on her recent performance and failure to condemn the racist comments her supporters have made at her rallies I think it's probably true. I also think a significant portion of people in Middle America who claim to not be racist (and yet live in those little segregated hellzones of conformity known as suburbia) deep down are subconsciously racist--segregation might have been outlawed but a large portion of suburban America is still basically practicing it which could work in McCain/Palin's favor on election day.

I agree. I have always thought that the story was true, and given her recent race baiting, even more so now. The blogger who originally posted the story appears to be an excellent journalist, and it is too bad that his sources do not come forward.

EDIT: One of the reasons I originally chose to support Clinton was because I feared that many people who do not consider themselves to be racist, would vote based on that sub-conscious racism that you mentioned.

Quote:I don't have 9,xxx postings for nothing. I can prolly engage help in this 'bump' effort without trying. My hope is you all give up the ghost and join the rest of us. If you chose to not - that's OK. But the continued effort to hog the forum with negative posts about one site - not anymore and not on my watch.

Based on the fact that her annual gross from online sales (based on stats she posted on PSU) is less than my weekly gross I'd say the time wasted at PSU making those 9,xxx posts has been for nothing. : Smile
