Hillary Clinton played what I call the Tom Robinson race card when she called Barack Obama elitist for saying that working class people were bitter because of economic hardships. You will recall the trial in "To Kill A Mockingbird"
in which Atticus Finch declares that Tom Robinson's only crime was that, as a black man, he dared to feel sorry for a white woman. Clinton is essentially sending a coded message that Obama is elitist (translated as "uppity black man") for daring to feel sorry for white working class people. She knows that people's prejudices are easily manipulated in times of financial distress. It's a shame that Clinton feels it necessary to resort to Jim Crow tactics in order to win an election. While Obama has been trying to appeal to the best in us, Clinton has chosen the path of appealing to the worst in us.
