The Daugthers of the Confederacy and the Clintons

The Black Commentator posts news on Thursdays so when I received an e-mail from them today I knew it had to be something important. It seems that Bill Clinton has been giving high praise to a group with known Klan connections. Klan as in Ku Klux Klan.

The Black commentator has angled this as a question about reainess to lead issue. I'm not sure I agree with that given that when Obama was in SC he didn't make any comments regarding the confederate flag. I suppose it was too racial at the time. So if anything this little but about the Daughters of the Confederacy is really payback for he Rev. Wright "issue."

Now here's the problem. Black voters will still be votin for Obama. The question is whether white folks will be put off by this organization. More important is whether in a general election with Obama on the ticket, would attacks on Daughters of the Confedercy play to the underground Republican get out the vote machine.
