The Presidential primaries have taken a turn for the ugly among the two candidates left on the Democratic Party's ticket, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Big and little media have been awash with commentary and debates over whether the way things are going are good or not for the whole primary process and eventual presidential campaign. Yet it is the first time in my life that I see a "liberal-leaning" news commentator to take the time and consideration to publicly scold a member of his "preferred" party.

Olbermann's rant actually outlines the chain of events that led to his venting his outrage. They mainly have been comments by many of her surrogates (and some by herself) that allude to Obama's race and multi-ethnicity as a bad thing. Yet it was this past week's episode with Geraldine Ferraro's that was the drop that made the cup runneth over: The former congresswoman and vice-presidential candidate suggested that Mr. Obama's success was some kind of electoral affirmative action. To make matters worse, the former Clinton campaign finance advisor stood defiant to people's criticism by accusing them of prejudice against her because she is white.

I wrote yesterday about how the "affirmative action is anti-white racism" battle cries have been used by white supremacists in this country to justify their prejudice. What I failed to mention was how that might resonate in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is the next "big state" in the primaries and a "must win" in the Clinton agenda. Pennsylvania is also considered a hot bed for nativists. That's why many people, believe the controversy has been intentional and that, like Olbermann says in his rant, Clinton and her advisors do "want their campaign to be associated with those words".

That it takes for a cable news pundit to call out Hillary Clinton on a prime-time cable TV show for her to then apologize, wow, that is really unprecedented.

Watch the clip.
