Donna Brazile Hints Bill Clinton's Obama Attacks Racially Offensive

On Tuesday's The Situation Room, CNN's liberal political analyst Donna Brazile, formerly an advisor to both Bill Clinton and Al Gore, hinted that she was racially offended by some of the former President's recent attacks on Barack Obama.

She hints?

Snort. So much for principle, eh Ms. Brazile?

Then again, if you had any principles you wouldn't be working for the Toons.

Black people’s obssession with the color of their skin — and their calculated penchant for making it the excuse for all of their cultural foibles — has long since become tiresome. It’s time for blacks to take responsibility for their own actions (like destroying our once-gleaming cities) and clean up their own back yard. Grow up!

BTW, Ms. Brazile, guess you must've missed this...

Chris Matthews: Democratic establishment will 'kill the fire of insurgency'

Watch the video, and pay special attention to what Matthews says about Hillie's strategy involving pitting racial groups against each other...

Hmm.. race card vs gender card. Hispanic vs Blacks.

Brazile: "For him to go after Obama using 'fairy tale,'

When did "fairy tale" become racist? Anti-gay, maybe. But racist???

[Graybeard58]

Virtually everything said against Obama will hereby be “racist”.

And that will be the cause of the GOP getting only 7% of the black vote instead of the usual 8%.

But Bill Clinton can not be a racist. He was the first “black president”; therefore, by definition he can not be a racist.

Clinton got Obama to talk the civil rights talk - reminding everyone he’s more like Al Sharpton than Dick Chaney. In short, she played the “racist” card...

[NavVet]

Chrissy found a true statement to utter. Well, I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

[SERKIT]

Did Donna Brazile equally take offense when a black leader recently boasted that Bill probably “had more black women” than Barry. Any pull-quotes on Brazile’s reaction to that “compliment”?

[GOPJ]

BRAZILE: I think his tone, I think calling Barack Obama a "kid," he's a United States Senator, he's experienced, the people of Illinois elected him, and regardless of what kind of items on his resume, this is a man who has worked all his life. ... I think, for Bill Clinton to go out of his way to become a distraction to Hillary Clinton, and to launch the kind of attacks on Obama is just out of character for Bill Clinton.

Short of calling him "boy", the Clinton's pulled every trick in the book to bring out the "black" in Obama - down to and including having him defend MLK. I don't agree with Donna Brazile often, but she's on the money with this one... The Clinton's played the racist card.

[ChessExpert]

If I recall, Bill Clinton was our first black President. Obama hopes to become our first black President also. Obviously, they are on a collision course; only one can be first. It’s a bit like a race, only Bill got there first. So we have two black men who are in dispute with one another, directly or through proxy. Up to this point, I kinda sorta follow liberal logic. But how can a dispute between two black men be racist?

The Democrat Party cannot win a general election without Black support. By the time the convention rolls around African-Americans in the Democrat Party will threaten to sit out if Obama isn’t the candidate. Great move Bill.

Brazile is being a bit oversensitive here. It is a Presidential campaign, after all. Candidates do take shots at one another. It’s a bit like Clinton supporters saying criticism of Hillary is anti-feminist.

[Badeye]

Its facinating to watch the black leaderships allowing the myth of Bill Clinton being ‘the first black President’ run smack into the face of reality.

[popdonnelly]

I’m hinting that criticisms of Thompson are anti-white men.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Forever offended.

The Rev. Jackson said this AM that blacks are waiting and wanting to hear Obama address the “urban” issues (in other words, they’re waiting for him to race bait) before deciding to support him.

Anyone hear any blacks claiming Clinton stole the election-yet?

[pepperhead]

First Oprah now Brazile. The first black President and his wife are slowly losing their black support.
