Turns up heat.

December 21, 2002 -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday charged that Sen. Trent Lott is an example of the Republican Party's "constant exploitation of race" - and she dredged up accusations that President Bush played the race card during the 2000 presidential contest.

GAG ALERT!!!

Hey 'racks, where's the Barf Alert?

""I'm looking to see what kind of new leadership the Republican Party will have not in terms of names and faces, but in terms of commitment of equal justice under the law," Clinton said."

It would be nice if she knew what she was talking about and had a leg to stand on in this area. Equal justice must mean that everyone should be allowed the is-is defense...

[FastCoyote]

looks like Hillary's face is about a quart low on the botox.

[ApesForEvolution]

LOL! Yes, she looks rather vamped...

[FastCoyote]

of course we try to depress the black vote, they are all Democrats. Isn't like they try to increase the Christian white vote.

I'd love to slap this communist wench around with you till dawn, but me thinks a bed is calling me...Merry Christmas Fast one!

Does this woman actually believe she has a chance in hell of ever being president of this country?

[kattracks]

If I posted what I think of this thing, I'd be banned.

Lord God,

Enough is enough and hisdeous tooooo much is hideous tooooooo much.

PLEASE, LORD, STUFF THIS WOMAN'S FOOT IN HER MOUTH SO FAR DOWN HER THROAT THAT SHE ENDS UP WITH HEMROIDS.

PLEASE TAKE HER OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE; TAKE HER OFF THE PUBLIC STAGE; REMOVE HER FROM POLITICAL POWER; GIVE HER A NICE HOSPITAL ROOM WITH PADDING; LET HER EAT GRASS AS AN ANIMAL; LET HER SUDDENLY IN A SENATE HEARING ON NATIONAL TV START CONFESSING ALL THE MURDERS AND OTHER FELONIES;
. . .

PLEASE, LORD, BRING HER EVIL CHARADE AND HYPOCRISY TO A SCREACHING HALT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN THE MOST FITTING WAY POSSIBLE, (perhaps a rerun of the Roman Ruler and his worm friends would be fitting) IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.

...an example of the Republican Party's "constant exploitation of race"

No, Hillary. It's you and the Democrats who are "constantly exploiting race"

[RichInOC]

I agree, Hill. Trent Lott wasn't enough. We need to make a clean sweep of racists from the Senate leadership.

"...almost heaven...West Virginia...
"Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River...
"Senator's old there, older than the trees,
"Younger than the mountains, babblin' up a breeze.
"Send him home...country roads...
"to the place...he belongs...
"West Virginia...burnin' crosses...
"Send him home...country roads."

With the exception of Lott's ouster, dems think they have it in the electoral bag with this situation. I'm not so sure. Although this situation was more serious, in a way it's kind of comparable to what happened election 2000, at least to me. Everyone remembers the yelling and screaming bloody murder going on about how the blacks in FL were 'systematically disenfranchised' by the republican party and the dems were using that to try to paint us as racists. Fast forward to election 2002 and the FL fiasco apparently didn't make much hay, did it? What a difference a couple of years make.

Now about the same time 2 years later after FL, another similar sort of incident occurs where the gop is portrayed as appallingly racist due to the Lott flap (AND disenfranchising blacks as the DNC in their blatant lies accuses Frist as RNSC Chairman of doing). They're going to try to use this the same way they wanted to use "Remember Florida," but again, almost 2 years is a looong time in politics.

Ohhhhh, it's the Shrew !

[SoCar]

What a disgusting pig! Has this loathesome being ever had an original thought? Do even the most kneejerk liberals think she believes the crap she spews? She is so transparent that it's almost funny!

I dare this evil humanoid to run for Prez in '08. She will lose in such a historical landslide that she will never be heard from again. This Beast has no idea of the antipathy that normal Americans feel towards her..

I'd take Socialist Bernie Sanders over her any day. At least he really believes in his wrong headed wacky ideas. This witch has no beliefs. Her only mission is to advance the agenda of Her Highness. She sold her soul a long time ago, if she had one.

My contempt for Satan's Spawn knows no bounds.

The party that routinely plays the race card in political scampaigns pulls tricks like running hate ads only on ethnic minority stations, running targeted phone scampaigns with taped messages, and posting up anti-campaign posters. The nature of such tactics is to "prove" that the opposition candidate is a racist who does not have the target group's interests at heart (and may in fact oppose that group outright). Of course, the "majority" of citizens are never exposed to these tactics.

Some of these campaigns have included references to a candidate, leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., and then some gunfire in the background. Others will have taped messages by the daughter of Byrd (the man who was dragged behind the truck). There have been spanish language posters that said "Sanchez is Anti-Hispanic" (when Orlando Sanchez was a "Republican" candidate running in a non-partisan mayoral election).

The race card is only played by one party and it is used to keep minority voters dependent and in line.

Some of Clinton's attacks on the GOP over Lott were almost identical to her husband's remarks two days ago.

I noticed this right off, especially these comments:

Slick Willy: "He just embarrassed them by saying in Washington what they do on the back roads every day," Mr. Clinton told CNN outside a business luncheon he was attending.

Hildebeast: "I mean, what [Lott] did was state publicly what many of them have stated privately over many years in the back roads and back streets of the South," she told Fox News Channel.

Yep, they have that "spontaneous" "back roads" phrase down pat. Gosh golly, I'm sure these carefully scripted buzzwords are from the heart.

I hope they keep saying it, because the more they echo each others' words, the more obvious it is that this is nothing more than spin.

Make the most of your time in the sun, 'rats, 'cuz President Bush is about to serve you up a heapin' helpin' of strategery. Enjoy your meal.
