CNN played a Hillary Clinton political appearance this morning. She talked about the mortgage crisis and portrayed the evils of "your neighbor's house" being foreclosed on. She described "weeds growing" on their lawn, but then Hillary began describing "your neighborhood" changing and "you see people in your neighborhood that you didn't see there before".
What could Hillary possibly have meant, other than poor minority folks moving into "your neighborhood" because of falling housing prices? Her statement was of the type that is routinely considered race baiting, raising the fear that blacks will move into your neighborhood for the first time.
Hillary's audience was largely hispanic, and she was bragging about helping "Latino women" and "Hispanic children". her whole address was very racial in tone.
When Hillary started talking about "seeing people in your neighborhood you didn't see there before", those on the stage with her were nodding in emphatic agreement.
I don't see how Hillary could have meant anything other than poor people, and I think it's reasonable she meant poor blacks. are these people Hillary doesn't want in "your neighborhood"? Is she against poor folks affording homes?
This sounded to me just like Jimmy Cartr's call for "ethnic purity" in neighborhoods, which was roundly condemned.
In light of Obama making inroads in the black vote, it sure sounded like she was trying to play on Hispanic folks' fear of blacks coming into their neighborhoods.
Boy, the 'Rats sure can pick 'em...
You need a link
And Democrats were only upset about 'Star Wars' defense programs because they were busy using the Jedi mind trick on the people of America.
Being in Fairbanks, about one in three is new every year and every day somebody shows up on this little road who was never here before and they pretend to know what they are doing but they just got to Alaska yesterday.
Oh man, I can't even type that with a straight face...
It’s only a matter of time before Hillary’s inner WASP emerges. If she’s the nominee, there are still ten months of the kind of exposure she’s never had to contend with on a national stage. Her true nature will be revealed, and it won’t be a flattering image.
Good G-d, what an obsession with Hillary being racist has hit the media.
It’s almost as if the very act of running against a black candidates draws suspicions of racism.
I know that it gives satisfaction to see race-baiting leftists being hoisted by their own petard, but it can’t be good for the country as a whole.
I’m looking for a link, but she said it, CNN showed what was either the entire speech or a good ten minute chunk of it, so the context was clear. She proposed no solution to the mortgage crisis, but she absolutely talked about it causng your neighborhood to deteriorate, including seeing people in your neighborhood that you didn’t see there before. This definitely was being portrayed as a bad thing. I’m not sure any republican, or even any democrat, can get away with this if it is examined publicly.
Sounds to me like she COULD have been talking about illegals... most of whom are not blacks.
The Obama’s little ones are very cute.
Racial wedge politics work. It worked for Bloomberg. He got the largest Black vote ever for a GOP candidate in NYC by calling Fernando Ferrer a racist on black radio ads.
Snort.
Too funny. Hilly has said so many stupid things these past few days that by February, the campaign won’t allow her to say anything at all. She’ll just go to campaign events, hold up her latest press release, thank the crowd and leave.
A President who can’t speak publicly without saying something objectionable... Ladies and Gentlemen, your Democrat Party!!!!
LOL!

But not women, because there are no illegal women, according to Hillary.
Agree. Believe me, I am no fan of Her Thighness and would curse the day she becomes president if it comes to that, but this is just ridiculous.
If a republican had said something like that the networks would interrupt regularly scheduled programming to let us know.
She knows nothing about Vegas neighborhoods.....weeds? Try rocks.
Oh please.
It was the deliberate and malicious comments that both Bill and Hillary made.
Hillary and Bill also should be catching a lot of flack for the misandric comments they have recently been making as well. No self respecting man should vote for her after that.
The Clintons are master baiters. We knew this.
Are you saying that because she's white or because she's Hillary?

Racism trumps sexism in this part of the world.
That's what makes this so much fun! The Obama supporters and the MSM are "shocked, shocked!" to discover the Toons are malicious, shameless manipulaters.
Who knew?!
Answer: We did! We, the "Clinton haters". LOL!
Half the donkey party is about to "discover" all the sordid history of the Toons as if they were seeing it for the first time. They'll use all the scandalous history while kidding themselves that this isn't REALLY the same thing Republicans said about them all along. And a lot of the media is recognizing that what they always called "masterful" were really just self-serving lies.
I have no doubt that the Chicago machine has file cabinets full of ammunition. The only question is when will they use it?
No child, I am saying it because it is true.
Irrelevant, grandpa. All whites opposing Obama will be accused of racism whether it’s true or not.
