Just a day after Sen. Hillary Clinton told a reporter that she dominates presidential rival Sen. Barack Obama among less-educated white Democrats, the former First Lady announced she had garnered the crucial endorsement of the of KKK, a non-profit liberal think tank “that works to advance certain traditional values.”A spokesman for the little-known, but influential group, said its leaders had been on the fence about whom to endorse before a video surfaced in which Mr. Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, made disparaging remarks about the organization.
Sen. Clinton, in welcoming the KKK backing, said, “Support from white Democrats, especially those who would never vote for a non-white candidate, has been the cornerstone of my campaign to date.”
“Let’s face it, there are white racists and there are black racists,” said Sen. Clinton. “But because whites outnumber blacks about 8-to-1, any candidate who wants the Democrat presidential nomination has to win the white-racist vote. In state after state, across this great land, I have demonstrated I can deliver.”
In an effort to extend an olive branch to black racists who currently support Mr. Obama, she added, “Of course, when I’m elected president, I’ll represent all racists equally, without regard to color or nation of origin.”
