Bob Herbert responds to Hillary Clinton's assertion that working-class white voters won't vote for Barack Obama because he's Black.

—So there was Hillary Clinton cold-bloodedly asserting to USA Today that she was the candidate favored by “hard-working Americans, white Americans,” and that her opponent, Barack Obama, the black candidate, just can’t cut it with that crowd.

“There’s a pattern emerging here,” said Mrs. Clinton.

There is, indeed. There was a name for it when the Republicans were using that kind of lousy rhetoric to good effect: it was called the Southern strategy, although it was hardly limited to the South. Now the Clintons, in their desperation to find some way — any way — back to the White House, have leapt aboard that sorry train.

He can’t win! Don’t you understand? He’s black! He’s black!

...

The Clintons should be ashamed of themselves. But they long ago proved to the world that they have no shame.

Hillary is sure to employ lots of other dirty/racist tricks to derail Barack's presidential run.  No shame indeed.
