In Reply to: Richardson endorsement helping Obama in New Mexic posted by Torog (Info) March 26, 2008 08:20:37 ET
"They don’t want the White man to trick their women into killing off the last remaining members of their tribes."
this statement makes the assumption that Native Americans are stupid, and are still trading land for liquor. Alot of Native Americans that live on the reservations have degrees, and know how to read even... They are more than capable of realizing they got screwed over, but are beyond getting 'tricked' as the author patronizingly suggests.
"but when the Navajo hear of Obama’s efforts to euthanize inconvenient born babies, his campaign in the Land of Enchantment will be as dead the babies he tried to murder."
Somehow I doubt this and would chalk this up to wishful thinking on the part of the author. Native Americans are just as capable of being Republicans and from my experience, tend to be for the most part, at least in my neck of the woods. But there are alot of Republicans who won't be voting that way, as far as I can tell, thanks to the party's track record so far.
I do think it's funny how Carville is calling Richardson a Judas. I see Carville is still in the pocket of the Clintons.
best wishes,
