Proof that Ferraro's remarks incite racist sentiments

Allow me to point out one piece of evidence bearing upon the question of Mr. Olbermann's argument. Like many of us, KO read Ms. Ferraro's remarks as being aimed at arousing the prejudice and resentment of white voters in Pennsylvania. Many of Sen. Clinton's supporters denied that the remarks were poisonous. A visit to the web site of former Louisiana State Representative David Duke gives an illuminating perspective on the issue. Mr. Duke has published a letter to Keith Olbermann agreeing with Ms. Ferraro's remarks! The fact that David Duke, unquestionably a barometer of white racism, resonates with Ms. Ferraro's statements certainly gives strong evidence that KO is on the money with his analysis. If you can stand it, check out Mr. Duke's letter for yourself.

Right or wrong, it's clear KO was appealing to Sen. Clinton as a friend. Talk about tough love, Hillary should be glad she has a friend like Keith Olbermann, willing to tell her what he knows she doesn't want to hear but he feels she needs to be told.
