This shit ain't sour grapes, it's plain old full on racism. And the comment threads are worse (guys going on about how the ungrateful slaves took all their family's property during Reconstruction with the help of those earlier incarnations of Northern white elitists for example and how Obama shows 'they' should all be deported 'back' to Africa)
Sour grapes I get - that's the stuff you get over at MyDD or TalkLeft, not pretty but understandable given the closeness of the outcome and the genuine (non racist) appeal of Hillary, particularly to many women who see in her the same symbol that blacks do in Obama. But the garbage over at No Quarter is a whole other can of worms. So again I as WTF? I don't recall anything that would have indicated this sort of ugliness in Susan's writings before.
Just as, to the exact same degree, the much larger number of white racists see either Senator Clinton or Senator McCain as their ticket to preserving the white race's Precious Bodily Fluids.

Tell you what. Have your people talk to my people to figure-out the details.
When they get done we'll have lunch.
