About Clinton's base?

Do you take offense to following the leader of uneducated blue collar workers. Is it imperialistic to be relegated as largely uneducated for following Hill?

Update:

While it is widely known that Obama supporter are the countries minorities, college students and wealthy affluent.

    I think it is very offensive that the media is calling Hillary's supporters "less educated". This is a overt attempt to tell everyone who supports Clinton that we are ignorant. Not having a college education means that you are more affected by the economic downturn, not that you are somehow unitelligent as the media tries to make us believe. The fact is that now Obama is only winning black voters and college students consistently. The only people in this election that are truly stupid are the pundits.

  • I'm not really sure what you're asking here. You've got uneducated WHITE blue collar workers backing Hillary, along with a wide swath of women and 'normal' people and you've got uneducated BLACK blue collar workers (funny they don't point that out), blacks in general (Do we see a trend here? Blacks supporting Obama based only on the color of his skin? THAT, to me, would be offensive and narrow minded.) students and 'egg heads'. They didn't say the wealthy, they said 'egg heads' which means the academics. I don't know who the 'wealthy' support for the most part.

    But college students? Lord, I know college students and the fact is, they are GETTING an education, they do not yet have one and have absolutely no life experience. They don't know crap and are keen to follow the latest fad. College students are pack animals. And academics...LOL, again, I know academics. Look up the word 'Ivory Tower'. An academic knows history, biology or any other 'curriculum' you care to name, but that's it. If it's out side their area of expertise, they're no smarter than the pipe fitter down at the plant. A Social Science professor knows no more about economics than Joe the Barber...probably less since he's never run a business.

    But I'm rambling. I'm still looking for the question in your...question. Are you simply trying to denigrate a segment of the population you hold in disdain? Looks like that to me. Typical 'liberal'. They talk about 'inclusion' and tolerance, but in reality, their disdain for anyone different from themselves runs so very deep.

    I think Clinton's base has shown where the racists live in America. I think Obama made a great decision on not campaigning alot in WV, where he knew race still matters.

    I am offended by Hillary's campaign, but I would vote for her even if she some how steals the nomination from Obama. I just can't bring myself to vote for McCain.

    Well I wouldn't want a leader who isn't well educated and informed no mater what the circumstances. So no, it's not offensive to me but inspiring.

    I don't understand your use of "imperialistic"

    NO - just a fact. The least educated poorest oldest peoople vote for Hillary-ashamed of being non-educated-GET ONE.

  • First, I need your question to be a little more clear. Second, it is not more offensive than your question in general.
