Michael Moore previews something better than bitter in Pennsylvania

    Filmmaker Michael Moore lives in Michigan, so he didn't get an opportunity to vote for the candidate of his choice in the primary there. But just like in his documentaries, Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11 and Sicko, in an open letter to Pennsylvania voters, Moore cuts right to the chase: Hillary Clinton has blown a lifetime of good deeds with her bad behavior in her bid to become the nation's first woman president.

    "...the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting. I guess the debate last week was the final straw. I've watched Senator Clinton and her husband play this game of appealing to the worst side of white people, but last Wednesday, when she hurled the name 'Farrakhan' out of nowhere, well that's when the silly season came to an early end for me. She said the 'F' word to scare white people, pure and simple. Of course, Obama has no connection to Farrakhan. But, according to Senator Clinton, Obama's pastor does -- AND the 'church bulletin' once included a Los Angeles Times op-ed from some guy with Hamas! No, not the church bulletin!

"This sleazy attempt to smear Obama was brilliantly explained the following night by Stephen Colbert. He pointed out that if Obama is supported by Ted Kennedy, who is Catholic, and the Catholic Church is led by a Pope who was in the Hitler Youth, that can mean only one thing: OBAMA LOVES HITLER!

"Yes, Senator Clinton, that's how you sounded. Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity. How sad that I would ever have to write those words about you. You have devoted your life to good causes and good deeds. And now to throw it all away for an office you can't win unless you smear the black man so much that the superdelegates cry 'Uncle (Tom)' and give it all to you."

    I hate to spoil the ending for you, but Moore goes on to encourage Pennsylvania Democrats to vote for Obama since he could not.

    Starting with the South Carolina primary, I have heard one Democrat after the next say that they have become disenchanted with the Clintons because of their campaign tactics. Who knew? The whining Republicans were whining for good cause.

I'm trying to figure out just how far Hillary Clinton has to move to the right for the blue collar folks and poor whites to realize she ain't on their side anymore (if she ever was...)

I didn't know about this letter, but have to agree. Hilary has stooped too low too often to garner my vote. I could only take a half hour or so of this latest debate. Voting for her after these tactics would send the message that I approve and support these tactics and I wouldn't feel good about that. She's made it a difficult choice (if she gets the nomination) and for the first time in my voting life, she has me considering whether or not I'll cast a ballot.
