“Clinton, Obama said, began the campaign wanting to make history as the nation’s first woman chief executive. Now, he said, she’s been spending a lot of time rewriting history.”

I love an intra-Democratic war. It has the smell of Republican victory!

She’s banking on the possibility that there are more racists in the Democrat party than there are blacks.

Hopefully, people will just get so sick of the back and forth, “that’s racist” - “that’s sexist” they’ll just vote for the GOP white guy.

I didn’t hear it, but I have noticed he is really reading his own press, just can’t help but be in love with himself, lol.

Oprah’s Kid will run a racist campaign, he just can’t help himself.

(just like Halle Berry and Denzel did when lobbying Hollywood for their Oscars)

It was so obvious, in every interview it was how grateful they were to be nominated as the “first black........”. And how cool you would be if you voted for them.

Blacks had a right to be offended; Hill was clearly implying that it took an old white guy to do what that naive simpleton black guy (King) could only dream about

The white guy (Johnson) would not have done anything unless the black man (King) did what he did. So Clinton had no point. After all it was Johnson that told two governors on Air Force One about the Civil Rights bill

"I'll have those n****** voting Democratic for the next 200 years".

Could you give a quick rundown on what Obama said and his demeanor?
Thanks!

Some interpreted those remarks as undermining King’s contribution.

Well DUH.

That's exactly what they said.

Don't vote for the charismatic black man. He is only going to get assassinated. He only has a Dream. He only has false Hope.

Instead, vote for me, the dull corrupt white woman. I am your LBJ. I will accomplish the change.

That's what they said.

They also made the connection to JFK.

Remember, "Some say her opponent is like JFK, but JFK got assassinated. It took LBJ to get the civil rights done"...

and a few days before, we had Bill's strange comment about someone taking a 'bullet to the brain'.

These clintonites are downright scary.

I saw bits and pieces of his speech today.

The press keeps praising hin about his oratory skills. I think he is a lousy speaker. He stutters and stammers.

I only caught a clip of it myself, but here goes:

He started talking about his decidedly leftist plans, with their wealth re-distributionary aspects, their “hate the evil successful”, and how benefits would flow through him to the “struggling...IE: Unions/minotities/Illegal aliens...And during it all, he was a lot less “Barry White” than usual, and was a lot more strident and had what sounded like a tinge of desperation in his vocal cadence. I think his internals are not lookin so good to him as his team debates his actual ideas and plans, and he’s wond3ering how he’s going to sell all his “Everything that was old, is new” platform to a public that has access to more sources of news than the lying rat ass MSM who are in on the fix for him.

The idea of Obama scares the devil out of me.

I don’t think any of the Clinton camp’s allegedly racist remarks are truly racist. Come on, guys. Calling someone’s view a “fairy tale” is not racist. It has no racial conotations whatsoever. And a Hillary staffer was forced to resign because he mentioned that Republicans might use Obama’s admitted drug use against him? What does that have to do with race? Andrew Cuomo’s words had nothing whatsoever to do with Obama or race...yet the blacks in the country and Obama’s campaign are crying racism.

I see the handwriting on the wall all too clearly. Yes...Hillary as president is something I don’t even want to imagine. But do you really hope that instead, if we end up having to have a Democrat president...that we have a man in office against which no american can dissent on any issue...without being called a racist? Just as I’m not happy about the idea of a man with a muslim name being our president because I think it will embolden our enemies...I’m also not happy about having a black man in office that has the race-baiters in his pocket.

I don’t understand the political attraction to Obama. He’s young, inexperienced and (IMHO) a bit of a prima donna. But there are women crying at his rallies as though he was a rock star, and the opposition firing staff because they dare to mention his admitted drug use?

I don’t know what control this guy has over some people, but I find it a little scary in a “here comes the anti-christ” kind of way.

This is what I like to call "He called you a N***er politics", used so successfully by Jesse Jackson. Picture the Reverrrunnnddd Jackson pointing to a white person, turning to the nearest black person and shouting, "He called you a N***er! I heard him do it, I swear!".

Racial instigation seems to work every time it's tried.
